Normally, there are only 40 cars in the Daytona 500, but this year, the race will have 41, thanks to NASCAR’s Open Exemption Provisional, which allows what the governing body deems as world-class drivers to enter the Daytona 500 if they don’t qualify on speed. Castroneves will get credit if he wins the race but no prize money or points.

With the Duel qualifying races behind us, we now have the official starting lineup for Sunday's 2025 Daytona 500 race. These four racers did not qualify for Sunday's race after the Duel qualifiers: The 2025 Daytona 500 will be on FOX or can be streamed on the FOX Sports App or FOXSports.
