Attendees
Each Sprint Cup race in the 2010 season had a maximum field of 43 cars. The first 35 Owner Points (score of the respective owners of a racing car) in 2009 were guaranteed a starting place in the first five races of the 2010 season. If a driver switched from a team to a new team within the first 35 of the Owner Points, the team no longer had a guaranteed starting place unless it was also placed in the Top 35 of the Owner Points. However, if a former champion was not in the top 35 and did not manage to qualify for the race, he could fall back on a so-called Past Champion Provisional, which guaranteed him a starting place. However, since the 2007 season, the Past Champion Provisionals have been limited to a number of six races per season.
