Today marks 19 days before the NASCAR Cup Series drivers compete in the 67th running of the Great American Race.

Three drivers have won NASCAR’s most prestigious race after qualifying 19th—LeeRoy Yarbrough in 1969, Michael Waltrip in 2001 and Ward Burton in 2002. In contrast, no driver has ever won the DAYTONA 500 from 20th.
