NASCAR Moves Cook Out Clash to Wednesday, Feb. 4, at Bowman Gray After North Carolina Snowstorm

The shift follows hazardous road conditions that officials say render travel unsafe until midweek.

Overview

  • All on-track activity is now set for Wednesday with practice/qualifying at 1:30 p.m. ET on the Fox Sports App, a Last Chance Qualifier at 4:30 p.m. ET on FOX, and the 200-lap main at 6 p.m. ET on FOX.
  • NASCAR made the call in coordination with the City of Winston-Salem and state agencies after 8–11 inches of snow were reported across central North Carolina.
  • State officials urged drivers to avoid unnecessary travel, and the North Carolina Highway Patrol reported about 750 collisions in a single day.
  • Venue crews hauled roughly 40 loads of snow and ice from Bowman Gray and reported the racing surface nearly dry as broader cleanup and safety efforts continue.
  • Fans unable to attend Wednesday can choose a 120% credit equal to their order value or a full refund, and NASCAR said a move to Daytona was explored but ruled out due to facility and engine constraints.
