The lineup up for Tuesday night’s Busch Clash at Daytona has been set. Team Penske driver Ryan Blaney will head up the field in his No. 12 Ford Mustang.
To his outside will be Hendrick Motorsports driver Alex Bowman, set to make his debut sporting the No. 48 following Jimmie Johnson‘s retirement. Joe Gibbs Racing’s Denny Hamlin and Blaney’s teammate Brad Keselowski make up the second row.
The Clash moves to Tuesday and will be run on the road course for the first time ever. It will be aired at 7 p.m. on Fox Sports 1. Erik Jones won a crash-filled race last year and returns to the exhibition event behind the wheel of Richard Petty’s iconic No. 43. The full lineup can be found below.
