jamie88fan That is because drivers back then had opportunities to take
2nd and perhaps 3rd round speed trials. The drivers who chose to do this
would have to start at the rear in their respective qualifiers (In the
order of their 2nd round times. The tradeoff being a better qualifying
speed to stand on. Apparently JD's second round speed was good enough to
make the show.

Sponsor:
#41 Sterling Marlin - 1982 World's Fair Knoxville (same for his 1982
Daytona 500 DNQ in the #41)

Marlin, attempting to make his second Daytona 500 start and his first in
a car he qualified himself, and the Matthews Racing team landed a unique
sponsorship on the side of their yellow-and-orange Oldsmobile from the
then upcoming 1982 World's Fair that would be held in Knoxville,
Tennessee. A crash early in this race doomed their chances of making the
field. The car promoted that the fair would run from May to October.
While Marlin's run for the fair was a bust the event was a success...and
later famously got spoofed on "The Simpsons."
