NASCAR Cup Series at the Clash: Starting lineup, TV schedule for Sunday’s race

Chase Elliott is on the pole for Sunday’s NASCAR Cup Series Cook Out Clash at Bowman Gray Stadium.

Elliott won Heat 1 to secure the pole on Saturday after also being the fastest in practice.

Sunday’s Clash (a non-points paying race) will be the first Cup race of any kind at Bowman Gray since 1971.

Among those who will have to race into the field via the last chance qualifier include Ryan Blaney, Kyle Larson and Ty Gibbs. The final three spots will be decided on Sunday via the LCQ and a points provisional (which would go to Blaney if he needs it).

Here’s the full starting lineup for Sunday’s Cook Out Clash.
