It's time to kick off a new NASCAR season with the annual Cook Out Clash on Feb. 2 (8 p.m. ET, FOX, MRN Radio, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio) -- but in a new location. After running the Cup Series' preseason exhibition at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum for three years, the race shifts to a new venue in historic Bowman Gray Stadium in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.
Here's how it works: The field of 39 entrants are split into three practice groups Saturday, with each group receiving three sessions. The final practice session also serves as qualifying, with each driver's fastest lap determining the heat race lineups in order of speed. Each heat race is 25 laps (only counting green flag laps and no overtime), with the top five in each locking into Sunday's main event.

Those who don't transfer into the main event from the heat races will compete in Sunday's Last Chance Qualifier Race, spanning 75 laps. The top two finishers will then tag the back of the field for the 200-lap feature. The 23rd and final spot in the Clash is reserved for the driver who finished the highest in the final standings from the 2024 season and didn't race into the main event.
Follow along below for updated lineups and results for all of this weekend's on-track action, including the heat races, last chance qualifier and the main event.
