Expected Entries

Each NEXTEL Cup race will have a field of 43 cars. The top 35 teams in owners' points (not drivers' points) in 2006 are guaranteed a spot in the first five races of 2007. If a driver goes to a new team, he will not have a guaranteed starting spot, but his old team will, except if that new team has been in the top 35. If a past champion is outside the top 35 in owner's points, he may be eligible to use a past champions' provisional to enter the race. In 2007, there will be a six race limit to the number of champions provisionals. The provisional guarantees a spot to the most recent champion outside the top 35 in owners points.

Teams that are not in the top 35 or do not have a champions' provisional must "race" their way in during qualifying - if 47 cars are attempting to make the race, and no one is using a provisional, then there are 12 cars racing for eight spots, and the eight fastest cars will make the race. (The Daytona 500, which uses a different qualifying procedure, is the only exception to this rule, though the top 35 are still locked in.)
