See where all the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series drivers will line up to try chasing down Kyle Larson in the 2018 AAA 400 Drive for Autism.

Kyle Larson hasn’t had the start to his 2018 NASCAR season that he was hoping for or expecting. On Sunday, he’ll try to turn his fortunes around in the AAA Drive for Autism at Dover, a race he nearly won last season.

In fact Larson had mostly set sail on the field until an untimely (for him) late caution forced a restart in which Jimmie Johnson prevailed. Count Johnson among the many drivers hoping to tame the Monster Mile and make their mark on the 2018 campaign.

Several drivers who have already tasted victory this year, including multiple-race winners Kevin Harvick and Kyle Busch, will also start toward the front on Sunday. The previous two days of racing at Dover suggest that there should be plenty of opportunity to race, which should excite the fans at the track and watching at home.

Next: Can the NASCAR Cup Series race at Dover live up to the weekend's first two races?

Let’s take a quick spin through the entire Cup Series field to see who will line up where when they roll off at the Monster Mile on Sunday afternoon.
