Work is underway to prepare Bowman Gray stadium in Winston-Salem, N.C., for the highly anticipated return of NASCAR Cup Series racing, set to begin with The Clash on February 1-2, 2025. Key initiatives announced by NASCAR, the city, and Winston-Salem State University include the installation of a state-of-the-art Musco lighting system to enhance track visibility and energy efficiency, and new SAFER barriers for improved safety. The renovations, funded in part through a pandemic recovery grant, aim to modernize the historic venue and create an unforgettable experience for fans and drivers alike. As excitement builds for the inaugural NASCAR event at the stadium in over 50 years, ticket sales are brisk, with a limited number remaining.
