The 68th running of the Daytona 500 has 45 entries, but the NASCAR Cup Series drivers aren't the only ones on track this week. Daytona will also feature the season-opener for the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series (NCTS), the NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts (formerly Xfinity) Series (NOAPS), and the ARCA Menard's Series.
The Daytona 500 entry list features eight former winners of the Daytona 500 and seven NASCAR Cup Series champions. Eight open entries will be fighting over the final four open spots on the grid, while Jimmie Johnson in a ninth open entry opting for a Open Exemption Provisional to ensure 41 cars start the race.
