Daytona 500, Rolex 24 and Coke Zero Sugar 400 star on racing schedule
The Daytona 500 isn’t the only big race hosted in Daytona Beach, Florida. The Rolex 24 endurance race and Coke Zero Sugar 400 also run there.
It’s almost here! The Daytona 500 is waiting at the end of the week (at least we think so; the weather forecast for Sunday’s Great American Race isn’t looking too good).
Before we get to the 66th running of the big race at Daytona International Speedway, we need to set the field. There are 42 racing teams competing for 40 spots in the field for the Daytona 500 2024, with each driver running a single lap around the 2.5-mile track. The best 10 times advance to Round 2, where the two drivers with the best times will be in the front row of Sunday’s Daytona 500.
Tonight’s qualifying run will decide two of the four available spots for unchartered teams in the Daytona 500. Jimmie Johnson, a seven-time NASCAR Cup Series winner who won the 2006 and 2013 Daytona 500, is one of the drivers who will need to race his way into the field, as are Kaz Grala, David Ragan, Anthony Alfred and B.J. McLeod.
