BowmanGray Stadium

Winston Salem, NC

The Madhouse is NASCAR's original proving groundโ€”a quarter-mile bullring where stock car racing first took hold in 1949. Bowman Gray Stadium in Winston-Salem, North Carolina represents the sport's grassroots heritage, and its return to hosting the Cook Out Clash brings NASCAR's biggest stars back to the track where legends were born. The tight confines and Saturday night atmosphere deliver short-track racing at its purest.
