Is Trevor Bayne guaranteed a starting spot in the Daytona 500?

I read articles that said Bill Elliott, Joe Nemechek, Travis Kvapil, and Terry Labonte were guaranteed starting spots in the Daytona 500 based on their times, but Trevor Bayne was third and faster that all of the 4 mentioned as being guaranteed starting spots. How can the 21 not be in that group?

Update:

To the wise guy who said they said it 20 times on Sunday, I was not able to see it so therefore I asked the question. Please don't answer if you can't give a decent answer. I would not have asked the question if I already knew the answer. The article I read only mentioned the 4 above and not Bayne.

    Trevor Bayne is guaranteed a spot because he has owners points from one of the RPM cars - the 19 if I'm correct.

    I'm 98% sure as the fastest car in qualifying not on the front row, the 21 car is in the Daytona 500.

    Did some double checking - the 21 car is also in the top 35 in points, so it's guaranteed that Trevor Bayne is in the show, even if he doesn't finish the Duel races on Thursday

    Trevor made it into the Daytona 500 on his qualifying time this past Sunday. Some drivers were able to lock themselves into the 500 on their qualifying speed.

    He was already guaranteed a spot be for he qualified due to points on the car he is driving. Same with Steven Wallace his dad bought points from another car so he would be guarennted a spot.
