NASCAR: 2025 Bowman Gray Clash qualifying updates, full starting lineup

The preseason Clash exhibition race has changed venues yet again, with Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum being ditched after just three seasons in favor of Bowman Gray Stadium, a historic quarter-mile oval that has not hosted a NASCAR Cup Series race since 1971.

The speeds from practice determine the starting lineups for Saturday's four 25-lap heat races at the four-turn, 0.25-mile (0.402-kilometer) Winston-Salem, North Carolina oval. The top five drivers in each heat race advance to the main event, while those who fail to qualify have one more chance to do so in Sunday's 75-lap Last Chance Qualifier.

Among drivers who fail to qualify, the top finisher from the 2024 point standings locks into the 200-lap Cook Out Clash as the 23rd driver, effectively meaning that Team Penske's Joey Logano, the reigning series champion, is already locked into the main event regardless.

Full qualifying order/groups can be found here.
