The entire Cookout Clash at Bowman Gray will take place on Monday, February 2nd as the track is currently being hammered with a winter storm that is dropping several inches of snow. While Sunday is set to be clear, temperatures will remain below freezing and a wind chill that could be in the single-digits.
As a result, NASCAR officials have rescheduled the event for Monday. On that day, the high will reach 40 degrees Fahrenheit with a low of 19, and no inclement weather expected. It won't be warm, but it will be far better than if they pushed ahead with the plan to race on Sunday.
"Due to the impacts of winter weather near Bowman Gray Stadium, the Cook Out Clash has been postponed to Monday, Feb. 2," a statement from the track read. "NASCAR is continuing to work closely with the City of Winston-Salem and North Carolina officials on the impacts of the winter weather in the city and surrounding region to host a safe event."
New schedule for Monday, February 2nd
