Having spent much of the off-season unsure whether Ford could live with Toyota and the new Chevrolet in 2018, Brad Keselowski went from the back of the grid to win the NASCAR Cup Series’ Daytona Clash in his Fusion. The Team Penske man moved from 17th to fourth in the opening laps, and jumped his rivals for the win during the early pitstops. Hendrick Motorsports’ Alex Bowman, who has replaced the retired Dale Earnhardt Jr, later made it four Daytona 500 poles in a row for the Chevrolet team. The Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota of Denny Hamlin starts second, with the rest of the field set in Thursday’s ‘Duel’ races.
