Historically, this annual race was held in Daytona or Los Angeles, but last year it was moved to Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Although Bowman Gray is a popular venue, this weekend’s racing schedule was disrupted by bad weather in the Carolinas.
The Clash is a shorter race than most – just 200 laps and 50.6 miles. In the first edition of the race at Bowman Gray Stadium last year, Chase Elliott took the checkered flag, edging out Ryan Blaney.
Who will dominate the competition this year?
Here’s everything you need to know about the 2026 NASCAR Clash, including TV channels and streaming options for the race at Bowman Gray.
