Cook Out Clash at Bowman Gray Rescheduled to Wednesday

Following a historic snowfall in North Carolina over the weekend, the Cook Out Clash at Bowman Gray Stadium has been postponed to Wednesday, February 4.

The National Weather Service reported 8-10 inches of snowfall in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, the site of the Cook Out Clash. The Charlotte area, which serves as home base for most NASCAR Cup Series drivers and teams, received 11 inches of snow.

In light of this historic snowfall and the hazardous road conditions it has created, NASCAR and the City of Winston-Salem agreed to move all on-track sessions to Wednesday for the Cook Out Clash.

“This event is for the fans, and the fans at The Madhouse are some of the most passionate fans in all of sports,” Justin Swilling, Project Lead, Cook Out Clash, said in a press release.

“Moving the Cook Out Clash to Wednesday, February 4, gives us the best opportunity to hold this event with fans at Bowman Gray Stadium while allowing the City of Winston-Salem to dedicate all of their resources to respond to the needs created by this historic weather event.”

Practice and qualifying for NASCAR Cup Series teams is now slated for 1:30 p.m. ET on Wednesday, with coverage on the FOX Sports App. As planned when the event was initially postponed to Monday, 20 cars will qualify for the 200-lap main event through the qualifying session.

A Last Chance Qualifier will add two cars to the field, with the 75-lap race scheduled for 4:30 p.m. ET on FOX. The Cook Out Clash will take the green flag at 6 p.m. ET on FOX, HBO Max, MRN Radio and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio.

Along with the 20 fast qualifiers and top two finishers in the Last Chance Qualifier, a provisional will add the driver who finished highest in 2025 NASCAR Cup Series driver points not otherwise qualified for the main event to the Cook Out Clash field.

NASCAR remains in communication with city officials and the North Carolina Department of Transportation, working closely to evaluate the ongoing impacts of the historic winter weather in the city and surrounding region to ensure a safe event may take place.

Parking lots will open on Wednesday at 11:30 a.m. ET for fans, with off-site shuttle services beginning at Noon ET. Gates will open at 12:30 p.m. ET.

Race fans unable to attend a winter-weather-impacted event day may choose to receive either a 120% credit equal to the value of their order or a 100% refund. More details and information are available for ticketholders at http://www.nascarclash.com/weather or by calling 855-525-7223.
