Since then, The Clash has evolved throughout the years, including shifting from Daytona to Los Angeles in 2022.

Last August, however, NASCAR confirmed The Clash would be held at Bowman Gray Stadium in 2025, bringing the Cup Series back to the historic venue for the first time since the 1970s.

With that said, and an exciting weekend of racing to look forward to once again, here is how the weather is looking ahead of the event.
