Tony Stewart, Danica Patrick and Bobby Labonte changed engines prior to the Budweiser Duels. This means they will start their Duel races and the Daytona 500 at the rear of the field.
(i) – Ineligible for driver points in this series (#) – rookie
After the completion of the Budweiser Duels, the field for the Daytona 500 will be set as follows:
The highest 15 finishers in each Duel will line up in positions 3-32 as follows:
First Duel race: The top 15 will line up on the inside row. They will have the odd number starting positions.
Second Duel Race: The top 15 will line up on the outside row. They will have the even umber starting positions.
Positions 33-36: These positions will go to the four fastest cars from qualifying that have not already earned a spot.
Position 37-42: These are provisional positions. They will go to the highest six cars in 2013 owner points that have not already qualified in the Budweiser Duels or in Coors Light Pole qualifying.
Position 43: This position will be assigned to the car owner who has the most recent eligible past NASCAR Sprint Cup champion who did not make the field by any of the qualifying methods listed above, providing the driver competed in the 2013 NASCAR Sprint Cup season. If the 43rd position is not filled in this manner, it will be assigned to the next highest car in 2013 owner points that is not already locked into the field.
