Here’s what your favorite NASCAR driver’s car paint scheme will look like at Daytona

Cup racing returns to Daytona International Speedway with the 18-driver Busch Clash race on Sunday. The race does not count for points, but serves as a prelude to the Daytona 500, which officially starts the NASCAR Cup Series season the following weekend.

“The Clash” runs 75 laps on the superspeedway track (2.5 miles) and will be divided into two segments. There will be a caution separating the segments after the first third. The race begins at 3 p.m. and will air on FS1.

The following drivers and cars make up Sunday’s entrants (in order of last season’s finish by team). Photos courtesy of NASCAR.com.
