The No. 41 team will now be renumbered as the No. 98 team and will run part-time with Kevin Harvick, Chase Briscoe, and multiple other drivers. In 2017, Biagi-DenBeste Racing fielded the No. 98 Ford Mustang, running part-time with drivers Aric Almirola, Casey Mears, and Darrell Wallace Jr.
* With their switch from Toyota to Ford, it was also announced that JGL Racing will have a technical alliance with Roush Fenway Racing.

* JP Motorsports purchased cars from TriStar Motorsports and announced their intentions to run a full season in the No. 55 Toyota Camry on January 18, 2018. At the time of the announcement, Jason Houghtaling was named as crew chief but other information like drivers and sponsors was not immediately released, however Stephen Leicht was later revealed as the full time driver.

*On July 31, 2017, NASCAR announced that drivers with more than five years of full-time racing on the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup level and registered as Monster Energy NASCAR Cup drivers for the 2018 season for points purposes may drive a maximum of seven Xfinity Series races. In addition, all full-time registered Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series drivers are ineligible to drive in the Xfinity Series Dash 4 Cash races as well as the final eight races of the season (the final race before the playoffs and the playoffs). Drivers who have declared eligibility for Xfinity Series points, regardless of Cup experience, can compete in those races.
*On November 1, 2017, NASCAR announced a series of Xfinity Series rule changes for 2018.
** The 7/8 inch restrictor plate and aero ducts used at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway for the Lilly Diabetes 250 will also be used at Pocono and Michigan.
** Teams may use the flange-fit composite body at 30 races—all except Daytona and Talladega.
** Teams must use a NASCAR-specification flat splitter.
** Teams must use a specification radiator.
** Brake cooling hoses and fans will be reduced.
** Teams must use a single transmission for the entire race meeting (except for Watkins Glen, Mid-Ohio, Road America, and September Charlotte races).
** Standard splitter height is four inches.
** The "black box" will be powered by the vehicle, not separate batteries.
** As part of an investigation into the 2015 Alert Today Florida 300 Xfinity race crash that injured Kyle Busch, NASCAR imposed new chassis specifications (Enhanced Vehicle Chassis) for safety reasons that will be implemented in two phases.
*** Starting with the conclusion of the 2017 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series season, all new chassis must be certified to the new specification.
*** Currently constructed and certified chassis that had been certified as of the 2017 Ford EcoBoost 300 will have a one-year grace period until they must be certified.
*Starting from this season, drivers that declared eligibility to the Xfinity Series will have their last name featured in the front windshield of the car, with the Xfinity logo being reduced into two smaller logos in the upper corner area of the front windshield between the driver's name. Those who didn't declared eligibility to the series will only feature the Xfinity logo in the front windshield of their car.
==Schedule==
The final schedule – comprising 33 races – was released on May 23, 2017. Key changes from 2017 include:
*The PowerShares QQQ 300 will be held one week earlier. As a result of this, all races from Atlanta until Talladega (spring), will move one week earlier than 2017.
*The ToyotaCare 250 at Richmond Raceway will move from Saturday afternoon to Friday night due to attendance issues.
*The OneMain Financial 200 will move between Talladega and Charlotte. Due to Daytona moving a week earlier, Dover was forced to move to May, similar to 2016.
*The new date that Las Vegas Motor Speedway acquired from Kentucky Speedway was moved to the final race of the regular season to replace Overton's 300 at Chicagoland Speedway which move back to July before the Coca-Cola Firecracker 250. That means the Coca-Cola Firecracker 250, Alsco 300 and Lakes Region 200 will move one week earlier than 2017.
*The Lilly Diabetes 250 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway will move to September between Darlington and Las Vegas.
*The Drive for the Cure 300 at Charlotte Motor Speedway will move one week earlier to become the second race of the Round of 12 and will utilize the track's road course layout instead of its quad-oval. That means the Drive Sober 200 at Dover International Speedway will move one week later to become the elimination race of the Round of 12.

===Schedule changes===
In 2015, NASCAR and 24 Xfinity Series tracks agreed on a five-year contract that guarantees each track would continue to host races through 2020. Despite the agreement, Speedway Motorsports decided to transfer one of its Xfinity Series races at Kentucky Speedway to Las Vegas Motor Speedway to form a race weekend involving each of the three national series in the fall. With the official release of the schedule, NASCAR announced that the race Las Vegas Motor Speedway acquired from Kentucky Speedway will become the final race before the Xfinity Series playoffs, while the Virginia 529 College Savings 250 at Richmond Raceway will be held as the first race of the playoffs. Furthermore, the Lilly Diabetes 250 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway will move from July to September. Chicagoland Speedway's race, the Chicagoland 300, will move from September to June to become the 15th race of the season instead of the 26th.
A few other minor schedule changes were also announced with the release of the schedule. Unlike the 2017 season, the OneMain Financial 200 at Dover International Speedway will precede the Hisense 4K TV 300 at Charlotte Motor Speedway, while the Drive Sober 200, also at Dover International Speedway, will move one week later to follow the Drive for the Cure 300 at Charlotte Motor Speedway. The Drive for the Cure 300 will also utilize Charlotte Motor Speedway's road course instead of its oval. Road America will also move back to a Saturday afternoon.
On August 25, NASCAR announced the tracks that will compose the Dash 4 Cash incentive program: The four Dash 4 Cash races will be run consecutively on the overall series schedule, starting at Bristol Motor Speedway on April 14. From there, the bonus program rolls on to Richmond Raceway (April 20) and Talladega (April 28) before concluding at Dover International Speedway on May 5. Drivers registered as Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series drivers are ineligible to participate in either Dash 4 Cash, the second Las Vegas race, or the playoff races. Drivers such as Elliott Sadler (13 years) and Dale Earnhardt Jr. (18 years), who are expected to register as Xfinity drivers, will be eligible since they are registering as Xfinity drivers.
