Atlanta Motor Speedway fans hoping to see Bill Elliott race in the Emory Healthcare 500 this weekend likely won’t have to worry about him qualifying on speed.

Elliott is the only past Cup champion on the entry list released Monday who does not have a guaranteed starting spot, so the part-time driver for Wood Brothers Racing will be eligible for a past champion’s provisional to get in the 43-car field if he needs one.

That leaves 11 drivers vying for the final seven spots in the field. Those battling to make it in on speed are Front Row Motorsports’ Dave Blaney, Phoenix Racing’s Landon Cassill, Germain Racing’s Casey Mears, Latitude 43 Motorsports’ Patrick Carpentier, Braun Racing’s Jason Leffler, Tommy Baldwin Racing’s J.J. Yeley, Whitney Motorsports’ Michael McDowell, Prism Motorsports’ Mike Bliss and Scott Riggs, Gunselman Motorsports’ Todd Bodine and Nemco Motorsports’ Joe Nemechek.

Former Cup champion Bobby Labonte is driving the No. 71 car for TRG Motorsports, which has a locked-in spot. Reed Sorenson is driving the No. 83 Red Bull Racing car, which has had several drivers since May when Brian Vickers had to step out of the seat because of blood clots.
