Get the full NASCAR Cup Series entry list for the 67th running of the 'Great American Race' at Daytona International Speedway.

NASCAR's Daytona 500 on FOX has a unique qualifying format. It isn’t the simplest to understand. Adding to the complicated qualifying procedures is a new rule that could add (but doesn't guarantee) a 41st car to what — in recent years — has normally been a 40-car field.

The NASCAR Cup Series’ crown-jewel race, the Daytona 500, is here, with 45 cars entered for the Great American Race. With 45 entered, five will fail to qualify following the Thursday Duel races, barring any entry list changes. In addition to the 36 chartered entries, nine open cars will try to make their way into the field.
