The field is set for the Daytona 500.
The 2018 NASCAR season gets underway Sunday in the annual running of the “Great American Race” at Daytona International Speedway. This year’s installment isn’t short on storylines, including the impending retirement of Danica Patrick.
Some of the things NASCAR fans look forward to most with the Daytona 500, though, are the paint schemes. Sure, some of the styles that will be on the track Sunday have been seen in prior Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series races, but some are entirely new. Furthermore, this past offseason featured plenty of seat changes, so Daytona will give fans their first looks at drivers in their new roles.
With that said, let’s look at each driver’s Daytona 500 paint scheme. (Note: Drivers are listed in the order in which they’ll start Sunday’s race.)
