The NASCAR Cup Series season informally begins with Sunday's Cook Out Clash at Bowman Gray Stadium in Winston-Salem. The non-points paying race is the annual opening exhibition in the Cup season, with this year's race taking place at the quarter-mile Bowman Gray Stadium for the first time.

Formerly known as the Busch Light Clash at the Coliseum, this year's event moves to the legendary Bowman Gray Stadium, a track known for its tight quarters and intense short-track racing. With drivers battling for bragging rights and early-season momentum, expect plenty of action from green flag to checkered.
