NASCAR officially kicks off its season with the highly anticipated Clash at Bowman Gray stadium, a legendary quarter-mile track steeped in racing history. Marking a return to tradition after years at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, the event will feature eight drivers with prior experience on the unique track. The race format includes group practices, heat races, and a culminating 200-lap main event, promising excitement for both racers and fans. With 39 entries expected and an anticipated sellout crowd of 18,000 to 20,000, the atmosphere is set to be electrifying.
