Overview
- NASCAR set a one-day program for Wednesday: practice/qualifying at 1:30 p.m. ET on the Fox Sports App, a 75-lap Last Chance Qualifier at 4:30 p.m. ET on FOX, and the 200-lap main at 6 p.m. ET on FOX.
- Leaders coordinated with the City of Winston-Salem and North Carolina transportation officials, describing the shift as an abundance-of-caution move to ensure safer travel.
- Up to roughly 10–11 inches of snow fell in parts of central North Carolina as NCDOT urged drivers to stay off roads and the State Highway Patrol reported about 750 collisions in a day.
- Crews hauled roughly 40 loads of snow from Bowman Gray and adjusted logistics, with parking opening at 11:30 a.m. ET Wednesday, shuttles at noon, and gates at 12:30 p.m.
- NASCAR offered ticketholders a 120% credit or full refund, while teams prepared for unusually cold conditions that could affect tires, brakes, and engine water systems.
