Here’s the official entry list and paint schemes for the 2021 Busch Clash at Daytona International Speedway
On Tuesday night, the 2021 NASCAR Cup Series season gets underway with the first official race of the new year.
It’s the Busch Clash at Daytona. New for 2021, the race will be run on the Daytona Road Course.
24 drivers are eligible to compete in Tuesday’s race at Daytona. However, only 21 drivers will take the green flag.
23XI Racing is set to run their first race. The team has selected Bubba Wallace as their driver for 2021. However, Wallace did not meet any of the requirements to start in the Clash. As a result, Ty Dillon will make the team’s debut in the No. 23.
Requirements: 2020 Busch Pole Award winners; Busch Clash winners, Daytona 500 race winners, Daytona 500 pole winners (who ran full time in 2020); 2020 NASCAR Cup Series playoff drivers; 2020 NASCAR Cup Series race winners; and all 2020 NASCAR Cup Series stage winners.
Jimmie Johnson, Matt Kenseth and Clint Bowyer all qualified to run The Clash. However, none of those three are scheduled to run the event.
The starting lineup will be set by a random draw. Officials will make that draw via live video on Monday at 9:00pm ET.
The Busch Clash will run for 35 laps. A pre-scheduled caution will be displayed on lap 15.
