Who is in the Daytona 500?

Well, we do not yet know the exact answer. We will not do it before next weekWhen the BlueGreen vacation and vacation eliminated four – or five – drivers.

That’s right. This year’s departure range could include 40 special or 41 special drivers.

Thirty-six approved cars will earn an automatic input in the Daytona 500. The other nine hopes will have to speed up their path.

Unless you are Helio Castroneves.

Although it is not an chartered driver, Castroneves received a place through the new open exemption from Nascar, which guarantees a position on the grid for world class drivers. Indycar legend certainly holds this title.

Castroneves can qualify for the race, which would mean that three other open entries obtain stains, capping the list at 40 years old. If Castroneves does not qualify for the race, it will be added as 41st pilot, thus representing the fifth open entrance to sneak in.

Do you have all that?
