49 drivers will be vying for 43 spots in the 56th annual Daytona 500 this year. It’s an increase from 2013, which had a rather low entry list, predominantly due to it being the first year with the Generation Six car. The race is set to take place on February 23rd, at 1pm est. on FOX. The complete entry list can be seen below, along with more details in regards to the entrants.
