NASCAR has postponed the highly anticipated Cook Out Clash at Bowman Gray Stadium to Wednesday, Feb. 4 at 6 p.m. ET, following a historic winter storm that blanketed North Carolina.
With Winston-Salem receiving 8–10 inches of snow and nearby Charlotte seeing up to 11 inches, officials opted to delay the event to allow road conditions to improve. Justin Swilling, the event’s Project Lead, emphasized that the decision was made to prioritize the safety of the “passionate fans” known to frequent “The Madhouse.”
While the city focuses on storm recovery, stadium crews have been battling the elements, removing massive amounts of snow to prepare the track.
The New Lineup: The main event will feature a 23-car field. This includes the top 20 qualifiers, the top two finishers from the Last Chance Qualifier (LCQ), and a final spot reserved for the highest 2025 points finisher not yet qualified.
Broadcast Schedule (Wednesday):
-
Practice/Qualifying: 1:30 p.m. ET (FOX Sports App)
-
LCQ: 4:30 p.m. ET (FOX)
-
Main Event: 6 p.m. ET (FOX, HBO Max)
