NASCAR has revamped the system by simplifying the process with teams no longer accruing provisionals throughout the season to gain entry into the starting fields. While opening positions one through 42 in the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series still will be determined by qualifying speed, the new system will assure the highest-ranked 35 positions of the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series owner championship points that have entered the event preceding to the entry deadline one of those starting positions in the field, providing they have made an attempt to qualify. The left over seven positions will be assigned to those drivers with the fastest qualifying speeds whose car owners are not among the top 35.

The last starting position - the champion's provisional - can be utilized by a car owner whose driver is a existing or past NASCAR NEXTEL Cup champion who participated as a driver during their 2004 season and was entered in the event for that owner in that car preceding to the entry deadline. If there is more than one series champion vying for the position, it will be given to the most new series champion.
If the last provisional starting position - 43rd in the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup - is not filled by a current or past series champion, it will be given to the next eligible car owner according to qualifying results. Through the first five races of the season for the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup, the top 35 in the NNCS of the 2004 owner championship points entered in the event preceding to the entry deadline will be assured one of the 42 starting positions in the field, provided they have made an effort to qualify.
