Overview

  • Practice and qualifying now start Monday at 11:00 a.m. ET on FS2, the Last Chance Qualifier is at 4:30 p.m. ET on FOX, and the 200‑lap Clash begins at 6:00 p.m. ET on FOX.
  • Heat races are canceled, with the top 20 from qualifying advancing, two transfers from the LCQ, and one provisional for the highest 2025 points finisher not already locked in to complete the 23‑car field.
  • Officials cited heavy snowfall, subfreezing temperatures, and the need to ensure parking, emergency access, team travel, and spectator safety in coordination with Winston‑Salem and North Carolina authorities.
  • Moving the event to Daytona was ruled out due to short‑track car configurations with 750‑horsepower engines and limited availability of sealed superspeedway engines for upcoming Speedweeks, according to NASCAR’s John Probst.
  • Parking opens Monday at 9:00 a.m., shuttles at 9:30 a.m., and gates at 10:00 a.m.; Sunday tickets are valid for Monday with refund and credit information provided, and the Cook Out Madhouse Classic will be rescheduled.
