The last NASCAR Cup Series race at Bowman Gray Stadium in 2026 was the Cook Out Clash at Bowman Gray on Wednesday, February 4, 2026. The next NASCAR Cup Series race at Bowman Gray will appear here once NASCAR's 2027 schedule is released.
Bowman Gray Stadium opened in 1937 as a multi-purpose stadium in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, and has hosted weekly NASCAR Modified racing every Saturday night since 1949, making it the longest continuously sanctioned NASCAR venue in the sport. The 0.25-mile flat asphalt bullring inside the football stadium is the smallest oval NASCAR has ever raced on at the top level. Grand National (Cup predecessor) races ran at Bowman Gray from 1958 through 1971 before the schedule realignment of the early 1970s removed it from the top series. NASCAR brought the venue back into Cup-level competition in 2025 by relocating the season-opening Cook Out Clash from Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, restoring a piece of the sport's history and producing some of the most chaotic short-track racing on the modern schedule.
Bowman Gray Stadium has hosted NASCAR-sanctioned weekly Modified racing every Saturday night since 1949, making it the oldest weekly NASCAR venue in continuous operation. The track is nicknamed The Madhouse for the fender-banging short-track chaos it produces.
