NASCAR switched from its one-car-at-a-time qualifying stsyem to a knockout qualifying system similar to the one used in Formula 1 and Indy Car Racing.
The policy will not be used in the DAYTONA 500, and non-points events like the Camping World Truck Series race at Eldora Speedway in Ohio.
According to the "Los Angeles Times",
"--At tracks 1.25 miles and longer, there will be three rounds. The first will be 25 minutes and include all the cars in the field. The 24 fastest cars in that round -- based on their fastest single lap -- advance to a 10-minute second round. The 12 fastest cars cars in the second round then move on to the final, five-minute round. There will be a five-minute break between each round.
--At tracks less than 1.25 miles, there will be two rounds. The first will be 30 minutes and the 12 fastest cars advance to a final, 10-minute round. There will be a 10-minute break between the two rounds."
