Jimmie Johnson, Martin Truex Jr. locked into Daytona 500 field via qualifying time
Both former champions had to qualify in on merit as a part of open, non-charter entries. Truex, who retired from full-time competition after last season, is in the No. 56 TRICON Garage Toyota entry for the 500 with former crew chief Cole Pearn.
Johnson is continuing to run a part-time entry with Legacy Motor Club, the team he co-owns.
The other two open spots in the 500 field will be decided in Thursday's duel races. Helio Castroneves had a poor qualifying lap and will either race in to the field or lean on the open exemption provisional as the 41st place driver in the field.
If Truex or Johnson advance via their place in the duel races, JR Motorsports' Justin Allgaier could take advantage as the third-best qualifying time for the open, non-charter entries.
This story will be updated.
