Get ready for the thrilling 2026 Cook Out Clash at Bowman Gray Stadium! This NASCAR Cup Series event promises an exciting showdown, with drivers gearing up for two 8-minute practice sessions and a group qualifying session on Wednesday. The qualifying process is a race in itself, with drivers having four minutes to set their times, running as many laps as they can during this window. The top 20 qualifiers will automatically advance to the main event, a 200-lap showdown starting at 6 p.m. ET on FOX. But the drama doesn't end there! The Last Chance Qualifier Race, a 75-lap sprint, will determine the final two starters, with the top two finishers claiming positions 21st and 22nd. The 23rd and final spot goes to the highest-ranked driver from the 2025 final standings who didn't qualify through the LCQ. Mark your calendars and tune in to the FOX Sports App, MRN Radio, and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio to witness the action unfold!
