Elliott was named the driver of the No. 19 Evernham Motorsports car on Tuesday.
The No. 19 team is 36th in owner points and must make the race on speed. There will be 15 drivers competing for the eight spots that are not locked into the field. None of those 15 is eligible for the past champion's provisional.
