The 2018 Advance Auto Parts Clash at Daytona is set for Sunday, Feb. 11 at 3 p.m. ET, and the race will serve as part of a doubleheader for qualifying for the Dayton 500.

There are 20 drivers who are eligible to compete in the Clash at Daytona. Drivers are eligible if they made the playoffs in 2017, former winners of the event, drivers who won poles in the 2017 season and former Daytona 500 pole winners.

The 20 eligible drivers are Kyle Busch, Kurt Busch, Brad Keselowski, Martin Truex Jr., Chase Elliott, Denny Hamlin, Joey Logano, Kevin Harvick, Ryan Blaney, Matt Kenseth, Kyle Larson, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Ricky Stenhouse Jr.,  Jimmie Johnson, Danica Patrick, Austin Dillon, Kasey Kahne, Erik Jones, Ryan Newman and Jamie McMurray.

It's unlikely Dale Jr. or Kenseth will compete in the race since they are retiring, but it's possible Danica Patrick decides to compete since she also wants to race in the Daytona 500.
