A look at the Daytona 500 entry-list now

We’re a little over a week away from the start of the 65th edition of Daytona Speedweeks. As we sit at this moment, Conor Daly and The Money Team’s announcement brings us to 42 cars on the sold out Daytona 500 entry-list.

36 know they’re guaranteed spots. 6 more will try to take one of the 4 spots left. The top 2 open cars in next Wednesday night’s qualifying will take spots 37 and 38 while the top two open finishers not locked in on speed will take the final two spots (39-40).

The 6 drivers hoping to race their ways in are Jimmie Johnson, Zane Smith, Chandler Smith, Travis Pastrana, Austin Hill and Daly.
