When is The Cookout Clash? Here's what to know about the 2025 NASCAR exhibition race in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.

Clash at Bowman Gray Stadium in Winston-Salem, N.C., kicks off the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series season. The much-hyped NASCAR Clash at Bowman Gray exhibition is at the sport’s shortest and oldest track. Bowman Gray is a quarter-mile bullring that’s been hosting races for 86 years. The race replaces the Clash at the Coliseum that was held in Los Angeles.

NASCAR's 2025 Cook Out Clash at Bowman Gray Stadium is quickly approaching. This year's event is scheduled for Sunday, February 2, starting at 8 p.m. Eastern Time, and will be broadcast live on FOX. For radio listeners, MRN, the Motor Racing Network, will cover the action, and satellite radio subscribers can tune in via SiriusXM NASCAR Radio.
