Clash at Daytona 2018 entry list: 17 cars

Logano won last year's clash

There are no surprises on the entry list for Sunday's 2018 Clash at Daytona, as three drivers who were expected not to take part aren’t on it.

The 17 drivers in the field qualified in one of four ways: either by winning a Cup Series pole during the 2017 season, winning the Clash in a prior season, making the 2017 NASCAR Playoffs or winning the pole for a previous Daytona 500.

Here’s the field in alphabetical order, plus how each driver qualified for 2018:
