The NASCAR Clash lineup is set for this Sunday night’s event at Bowman Gray Stadium, with Chase Elliott leading the field to the green flag. Elliott won his heat race on Saturday, securing the top spot.
A total of 23 cars will participate in the Clash, with the top 20 positions determined by the results of the four heat races held on Saturday. The final starting spots are reserved for drivers who performed well during the heat races.
On Sunday, two more drivers will secure their places in the Clash through a Last Chance Qualifier at 6 p.m. ET. Ty Dillon is set to start on pole position after finishing sixth in the first heat race. The top two finishers from this qualifier will advance to the main event, while Ryan Blaney, who is highest in points last year and not yet in the Clash, will secure the 23rd starting spot.
The complete lineup for Sunday’s Last Chance Qualifier has been released, featuring drivers such as Zane Smith, Ty Gibbs, and Austin Dillon. The final positions for the Clash will be determined by the results of this qualifying event.
