The Shootout lineup criteria was changed this off-season. Under this new format, a driver will have to have competed in at least one race in the last two Sprint Cup seasons. The 12 drivers who qualified for the 2009 Chase for the Sprint Cup get automatic berths into the race, as well as the reigning Cup Rookie of the Year. After those drivers, spots in the race will be given to past Winston/Nextel/Sprint Cup series champions, past Shootout winners, and any active driver who won either the Daytona 500 or Coke Zero 400 in the past. Twenty-eight drivers currently meet any or all of these qualifications, with Bill Elliott being the only one who meets all four of them (1985 and 1987 Daytona 500 wins; 1988 and 1991 Firecracker/Pepsi 400 wins; 1987 Shootout win; 1988 Winston Cup Championship).
