It's been a long off-season for NASCAR fans, but unfortunately, those hoping to tune into qualifying action from the Clash today (Sunday, February 1) will have to wait a little longer.
Having initially been pushed back from Saturday to Sunday, and then Monday, now that snow has hit overnight, NASCAR has made the decision to postpone the Cup Series action, with practice, qualifying, and last chance qualifying now all set to take place on Wednesday, February 4.
Of course, right now, even Wednesday's schedule is entirely weather dependent, but NASCAR says they are determined to put on a show.
NASCAR Cup Series Clash qualifying start times
NASCAR Cup Series Clash qualifying from Bowman Gray Stadium is set to take place on Wednesday, February 4, and has a different format than usual.
Qualifying will be split into groups, with each driver having four minutes to record their lap time over as many laps as they wish within that allotted time frame.
The top 20 cars from qualifying will lock themselves into Wednesday's race. The remaining drivers will then take part in last chance qualifying later in the day, with the top two then eligible for the race.
The 23rd and final spot in the Clash will be awarded to the driver who scored the most points in 2025 but is not already qualified.
