NASCAR fanatics, the wait is finally over. The 2026 Cup Series is kicking off at Bowman Gray Stadium with the Cook Out Clash.
After relocating to Winston-Salem, North Carolina last year, the Clash remains a highly anticipated event on the racing schedule. While the competition will be hot, the temperatures will be cold after a winter storm hit the Carolinas this weekend and pushed the race to Wednesday.
The Clash will be the perfect debut to the 2026 NASCAR Cup Series, bringing all the best racers together for 200 laps at historic Bowman Gray Stadium. Chase Elliott is the defending champion, but who will take the checkered flag this year?
