The Big Story
Thousands of fans showed up to Bowman Gray Stadium Wednesday for the Cook Out Clash. The NASCAR exhibition race was pushed back multiple times due to snow, but that didn’t stop fans from attending the event.
Ryan Preece battled sleet and near-freezing temperatures to win the race.
“Short track racing to me is just more exciting,” said Kerry Zapata, a racing fan from Minnesota. “Where else can you stand up, yell and scream and just get your frustration out? You don’t need anything to make it exciting, just get you some racing. Oh, it’s just exciting.”
