2017 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series Drivers List

The 2017 NASCAR season is just weeks away and I thought it might be helpful to have a list of the drivers in the top series to study before we see them on the track for the first time racing.

I mean, the majority of drivers and car numbers are still together. However, with Tony Stewart retiring, Carl Edwards‘ surprise walk away from racing, Dale Earnhardt Jr. back in the car and other driver changes, it just feels like there is more than the usual seat-shifting this year.

So, before the Daytona 500 Sunday, February 26th you might want to check over this list a few times. Don’t worry, there will not be a test or even a pop quiz.
