That, however, means that three places remain up for grabs heading into last chance qualifying this evening, with 23 drivers set to take part in The Clash later tonight.

For those unfamiliar with the format, last chance qualifying is exactly that — the last chance the Cup Series stars can qualify for Sunday's race.

Last chance qualifying consists of a 75-lap race around the 0.25-mile track at Bowman Gray Stadium, with the top two finishers adding their name to The Clash's entry list.

That would leave just one spot on the grid remaining, with the 23rd slot set to be awarded to the driver who finished highest in the 2024 driver points standings and who did not already qualify for Sunday night's race. This will most likely be Ryan Blaney.

With that said, let's get into this evening's timings and how you can watch the action unfold live.
