Joey Logano nabs victory in wild Clash race

The 2017 NASCAR season got off to a wild start in the preseason race on Sunday morning at Daytona International Speedway. The Clash, which is a non-points event, featured a 17-car field that put on quite the display of action and intensity.

Mother Nature reared her ugly head on Saturday night as rain forced the postponement of the event to Sunday morning. The race finally got underway around 11:30AM as Brad Keselowski led the field to the green flag.
