Race Lineup
The Winston Open | Lowe's Motor Speedway May 17, 2003 | Exhibition
Overview
Once qualifying is over, the field is set using a combination of timed laps and provisionals.
The fastest 36 cars earn a place on time, while positions 37-43 are determined by a process which may
include last season's final owners standings, current owners standings and former champions. The provisionals are assigned in descending order, beginning with the highest ranking owner in the standings. The lone exception is the Daytona 500,
which uses two qualifying races to determine the field. (now sortable)
