The future of the Clash, a surprisingly good run at Bowman Gray Stadium and more chatter from Sunday's exhibition race.

By so many metrics, the NASCAR Cup Series’ season-opening event was a hit.

Formerly known as the Busch Light Clash at the Coliseum, this year's event moves to the legendary Bowman Gray Stadium, a track known for its tight quarters and intense short-track racing. With drivers battling for bragging rights and early-season momentum, expect plenty of action from green flag to checkered.
