The Daytona 500 has NASCAR ’s most unique — and complicated — qualifying format.

There are 36 drivers already locked into Sunday 's race because their teams own charters.

The remaining four spots are filled by non-chartered cars, often referred to as “open teams" There are nine drivers vying for those spots: Anthony Alfredo , Justin Allgaier , Helio Castroneves , Jimmie Johnson , Corey LaJoie , B.J. McLeod , Chandler Smith , Martin Truex Jr. and J. Yeley .

Truex , 45 , is winless in 20 Daytona 500 starts but came home second in 2016 in one of the closest finishes in NASCAR history. Yeley is trying to make his sixth Daytona 500 and first since 2015 . The 48-year-old driver is winless in 386 Cup starts and is partnering with NY Racing Team to pilot the No. 44 Chevrolet . ___ AP auto racing: https://apnews.com/hub/auto-racing.
