US EditionNASCAR Adjusts Clash Schedule at Bowman Gray Stadium Due to Winter Storm
NASCAR canceled two Saturday events and will run a single-day 200-lap race Sunday at Bowman Gray due to a winter storm watch with up to 12 inches of snow forecast.
- On Saturday, NASCAR postponed all Saturday on-track activity and will run The Clash as a one-day program Sunday at Bowman Gray Stadium, Winston-Salem, North Carolina.
- Because roads remain affected from last weekend's ice storm and up to 12 inches are possible Saturday, organizers altered the schedule under a winter storm watch through 1 p.m. EST Sunday.
- Drivers will be split into three practice groups with each group getting three practice sessions, with practice hoped to begin at 2 p.m., and the Sunday 75-lap last-chance qualifier offering two spots.
- Fans lose Saturday's side events as Saturday heat races are canceled, while two-time NASCAR champion Kyle Larson is the only driver guaranteed a spot and the final 23rd spot goes by points.
- NASCAR believes Goodyear tires can grip the quarter-mile Bowman Gray Stadium track for a 6 p.m. Sunday start, but running depends on how much snow falls Saturday.
