Cookout Clash at Bowman Gray

Cook Out Clash at Bowman Gray Stadium Rescheduled to Wednesday, Feb. 4 (Update)

Due to the lengthy postponement of this year’s Cook Out Clash at Bowman-Gray Stadium, NASCAR is making good with fans who won’t be able to attend. For those who can’t attend the event, now taking place the evening of Wednesday, February 4, they can get a full refund on their ticket or a 120 percent credit for a future NASCAR event.

To receive either the refund or credit, the original account holder who purchased tickets for the Clash must submit the website request form within 14 days of the event. When the ticket holder makes the request, a ticket agent will reach out to them to finish the process.

If a ticket holder doesn’t submit the form and doesn’t attend Wednesday’s event, an automatic 120 percent credit will be applied for a future NASCAR event. However, if the tickets are used on the impacted date, the ticket holder won’t be eligible for a credit or refund.

The 120 percent credit can be used for any future NASCAR event in 2026 at a NASCAR-owned track, except for the Daytona 500 and the championship race at Homestead-Miami Speedway. The offer is valid through December 1, 2026. The eligible tickets for a credit include things such as any parking passes or add-on that were purchased.

The Cook Out Clash at Bowman Gray Stadium has been rescheduled to Wednesday, Feb. 4 due to the impacts of historic winter weather in Winston-Salem and across the North Carolina region.
