Start your engines, NASCAR fans—the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series officially gets underway this Sunday with the Cook Out Clash at Bowman Gray Stadium. While this exhibition race doesn't count toward the season standings,

There will be a Last Chance Qualifier at 6 p.m. ET Sunday. The top two finishers advance to the Clash. The 23rd and final starting spot goes to the driver highest in points last year not yet in the Clash. That is Ryan Blaney.
