Former Indianapolis 500 winners Dario Franchitti, Sam Hornish Jr. and Iberville, Que., native Jacques Villeneuve are making the change this year. Longtime open-wheel driver Patrick Carpentier of Ville LaSalle, Que., is also switching. Another Indy 500 champion, Juan Pablo Montoya, did it last year.
There could be as many Indy 500 winners as Daytona 500 champs in the field at Daytona. Franchitti, Hornish and Montoya are guaranteed spots; Villeneuve could qualify. Only Dale Earnhardt Jr., Jeff Gordon, Jimmie Johnson and Harvick are guaranteed spots among the Daytona winners, with others needing to qualify.
