In a Nascar Cup and Nationwide Series race there are 43 drivers. In a Nascar Truck Series race there are 36 starting drivers.
The most drivers who could race in a NASCAR race is 43 right now. But back in the 40's and 50's it was about 60.
The Daytona 500 is the most prestigious race in Nascar to win. It's the sports Super Bowl.
Tony Stewart's first Nascar Cup Series race was the 1999 Daytona 500. He finished in 28th position.
Nascar drivers take the green flag while moving so they can build momentum and get their cars up to speed. With 43 drivers starting a race, it would be a disaster to start from a still position.
Starting in 1982, the Daytona 500 became the first race to begin the Nascar schedule.
Because just starting the race pays, I think, 100K.
Pole position is important in NASCAR racing because it gives the driver the advantage of starting at the front of the pack, allowing them to have a clear track ahead and avoid potential accidents or traffic congestion. This can give them a better chance of leading the race and ultimately winning.
I believe it was Richard Petty. He came from 7 laps. I am not sure what race it was. But I believe it was in the 50's or the 60's.
