Cook Out Clash at Bowman Gray Postponed to Monday Due to Winter Weather

The Cook Out Clash is postponed to Monday at 6 pm ET on FOX due to the lingering effects of winter weather in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, NASCAR announced Saturday.

Snow covered the Piedmont region of the state Saturday, creating difficult travel conditiions, throughout the weekend. The postponement is out of an abundance of caution for race fans, the Winston-Salem community, and the North Carolina region.

NASCAR Cup Series practice and qualifying are set for Monday at 11 am ET with live coverage on FS2. The 20 fastest drivers in qualifying will advance to the main event. The remaining 18 drivers will compete for two transfer spots in the Last Chance Qualifier, which is running at 4:30 pm ET on FOX, HBO Max, MRN Radio, and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio. The top two finishers will advance to the main event, with a provisional reserved for the driver who finished highest in 2025 driver points that did not otherwise advance. Twenty-three drivers will take the starting grid for the Cook Out Clash at Bowman Gray, 200-lap feature set for 6 pm ET on FOX.

NASCAR has been meeting daily with leaders from the 0.25 mile track, competition officials, and city officials since January 26th, following another winter storm that left Winston-Salem with icy conditions.

Parking lots will open Monday at 9 am ET with off-site shuttle services beginning at 9:30 am ET. Gates will open at 10 am ET.
