A powerful bomb cyclone has brought unprecedented snowfall to North Carolina, forcing NASCAR to postpone its preseason exhibition, The Clash, to Wednesday evening. Initially scheduled for Sunday night at Bowman-Gray Stadium, the event was first condensed to a single-day show, then pushed to Monday, before the latest postponement. The intense winter weather has made it hazardous for teams and fans to reach the venue, located in Winston, Salem, North Carolina. The storm, which has dumped nearly a foot of snow in the Charlotte area, has been deemed one of the top-five snow events in the city's history. The Clash, a NASCAR exhibition, typically runs at Daytona International Speedway, but it shifted to Bowman-Gray Stadium last year, where it had a successful inaugural event. However, the second running has been severely impacted by the bomb cyclone, which has brought significant disruptions to the region. NASCAR has rescheduled The Clash for Wednesday evening, just one week before the qualifying rounds for the Daytona 500. The event will provide a crucial test for teams ahead of the highly anticipated season opener.
