Current NASCAR Cup Series drivers with experience at Bowman Gray

The historic Bowman Gray Stadium in Winston-Salem, North Carolina is set to begin another season of NASCAR Advance Auto Parts Weekly Series racing in 2024. Some of NASCAR's current Cup Series drivers have some reps at the 0.25-mile track known as The Madhouse. Read on to see who you recognize.

The K&N East Series — now the ARCA Menards Series East — raced five times at Bowman Gray from 2011-15. Here, Chase Elliott poses with NASCAR Hall of Famer Glen Wood in 2012.

Elliott started sixth and finished sixth at Bowman Gray in 2012.

Now a NASCAR Cup Series champion, Elliott finished fourth in the East Series standings in 2012 — behind Kyle Larson, Corey LaJoie and Brett Moffitt.

Chase Elliott winning awards. Some things never change.

Before he was a NASCAR Cup Series champion, Larson was crushing it with Rev Racing. He won the pole for the 2012 NASCAR Hall of Fame 150 and finished fifth.

Bubba Wallace earned six wins in the East Series in three full-time seasons from 2010-12.

After signing autographs prior to the 2012 event, Wallace finished runner-up to race winner Corey LaJoie.

Current Hendrick Motorsports driver William Byron was nearly unstoppable in 2015 in the East Series. He won four races and claimed the series championship, although the Madhouse gave him trouble — he finished 15th, his worst result of that season.

Perhaps no Cup Series driver embodies the rough-and-tumble characteristics of Bowman Gray more than Ryan Preece. He grew up cutting his teeth on short tracks.

Preece's first NASCAR Whelen Southern Modified Tour win came in 2013 in his second of three starts on the year.

Preece led all 199 laps to claim the victory.

Corey LaJoie got to celebrate in the infield when the series returned in 2012. He won a race that included six future NASCAR Cup Series drivers.

LaJoie led 118 of 153 laps in his No. 07 machine.

The host of "Stacking Pennies" has always been a crowd favorite.

As an 18-year-old in 2011, Alex Bowman notched four top fives in a full-season slate. He ran in the ARCA Menards Series full-time the following year.

Daniel Suarez competed for a title in the NASCAR Mexico Series in 2013, and he also a full season in the East Series. He finished ninth at the Madhouse that year, then returned for a runner-up showing in 2014.

Yes, that's Justin Haley, who was a menace in the East Series before his climb into the national series. Haley's lone Bowman Gray start came in 2015; it netted a third-place result.

Bonus photo: Before he was the Senior Vice President of Racing Development & Strategy at NASCAR, Ben Kennedy raced full-time. He won the 2013 East Series race at Bowman Gray, one of his two victories on the season. Kennedy went on to make 90 NASCAR national series starts from 2013-17.
