NASCAR has rescheduled the Clash to Monday, Feb. 2 at 6 p.m. ET because of winter weather in the Winston-Salem, North Carolina, area.
Per a NASCAR release, the decision was made based on difficult weekend travel conditions and “an abundance of caution for race fans, the Winston-Salem community and the North Carolina region.”
Practice and qualifying will take place Monday at 11 a.m. ET and will be televised on FS2. The Last Chance Qualifier for the exhibition race will be at 4:30 p.m. on Fox, which also will broadcast the main event that will feature 23 drivers.
Nothing matters more than the safety of our fans, even when the weather doesn’t cooperate. We were ready to fight the weather, and appreciate the collaboration with Winston-Salem and NC officials to make the best decision. Our operations team is hard at work for a Monday race! https://t.co/RR5TLIB2Cz
