The '''Cook Out Clash at Bowman Gray Stadium'''  is an annual non-championship pre-season [[NASCAR Cup Series]] exhibition event held in February before the season-opening [[Daytona 500]]. The event was held each year at [[Daytona International Speedway]] from the race's inception in [[1979 NASCAR Winston Cup Series|1979]] until [[2021 NASCAR Cup Series|2021]], after which it was moved to the [[Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum]] in [[2022 NASCAR Cup Series|2022]] until [[2024 NASCAR Cup Series|2024]], when it was announced the Clash would be moved to [[Bowman Gray Stadium]] in 2025.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nascar.com/news-media/2024/08/17/cup-series-2025-season-opening-clash-exhibition-bowman-gray-stadium/|title=Season-opening Clash exhibition heads to Bowman Gray Stadium in 2025|first=Zack|last=Albert|date=August 17, 2024|access-date=August 17, 2024}}</ref> Previously at Daytona, the race, along with the [[ARCA Menards Series]]' season-opening [[Hard Rock Bet 200]], served as the kickoff events for [[Daytona Speedweeks]]. The event is one of two non-points races on the Cup Series schedule, the other being the [[NASCAR All-Star Race]].

The event has been sponsored by [[Anheuser-Busch]] (which owns the [[Busch Beer]] and [[Budweiser]] brands) for most of its history. In [[2013 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series|2013]], Anheuser-Busch moved their Daytona Speedweeks race sponsorship to the [[Bluegreen Vacations Duel|Duel races]] after the departure of longtime Duel title sponsor [[Gatorade]]. Cup Series title sponsor [[Sprint Corporation|Sprint]] became the title sponsor for this race, which was renamed from "The Shootout" to "The Unlimited" (to promote Sprint's cell phone unlimited plan). When Sprint left NASCAR after the [[2016 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series|2016]] season, [[Advance Auto Parts]] became the title sponsor in [[2017 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series|2017]] and the event was renamed to its original name of "The Clash". Advanced Auto Parts did not return as the title sponsor in [[2020 NASCAR Cup Series|2020]], which opened the door for Anheuser-Busch (which dropped its sponsorship of the Duel races in 2016) returned for a second stint as the title sponsor, and the Busch Clash name was brought back.

After being held on the Daytona oval for its entire history, the event was moved to the Daytona Road Course in [[2021 NASCAR Cup Series|2021]] as a result of logistics issues relating to both [[Super Bowl LV]] and the planned launch of the seventh-generation chassis (which was postponed due to the [[COVID-19 pandemic]]). The following year, the event was moved out of Daytona International Speedway for the first time in its history, where it was held inside of the [[Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum]] as part of launching the seventh-generation chassis. It was NASCAR's first race inside a sports stadium since [[1956 NASCAR Grand National Series race at Soldier Field|a 1956 race]] at [[Soldier Field]]. The 2022 race also marked the first year that it was not an invitation-only event. For 2025, the event was moved to the [[Bowman Gray Stadium]].<ref name=bowmangray/>

==Background and history==
The event was first known as the '''Busch Clash''' and was the brain child of Monty Roberts. Roberts was the brand manager of the newly formed [[Anheuser-Busch brands#Busch|Busch Beer]] (formerly ''Busch Bavarian Beer'') and the race was seen as a way to promote the new brand. Roberts had been successful introducing [[Mercury (automobile)|Mercury]] into racing while working at [[Ford Motor Company|Ford]], and had also been a part of [[Ontario Motor Speedway]]. His experiences led him to believe that racing fans were loyal brand followers. The initial format was set up as a 50-mile sprint race, with no pit stops, with a field consisting of the previous season's pole position winners. Inviting the fastest drivers from the previous season headlined the event as the "fastest race" of the season. The race established an incentive for drivers to earn pole positions during the NASCAR season, which up to that time, still offered relatively tiny cash prizes. Likewise, at no time have pole winners earned bonus championship points.

The event was also seen as a way to expand the [[Speedweeks]] activities leading up to the [[Daytona 500]]. Previously, the weekend before the Daytona 500 featured only minor support events, and the Winston Cup competitors ordinarily would not have taken to the track until Wednesday. The Busch Clash allowed the Winston Cup regulars to kick off the week live on [[NASCAR on CBS|CBS]].

The 1987 race, won by [[Bill Elliott]], was completed at an average speed of 197.802&nbsp;mph. It stands as the fastest sanctioned race in the history of NASCAR (though it was not an official points-paying event).

The 2013 race (renamed the '''Sprint Unlimited at Daytona''') introduced a new format incorporating the results of fan voting into certain aspects of the race.<ref name=br-newformat/><ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.nascar.com/en_us/news-media/articles/2012/02/24/budweiser-daytona-sponsorship.html | title=Budweiser Ratchets up Daytona Commitment | publisher=NASCAR | date=February 24, 2012 | access-date=January 7, 2013}}</ref>

In 2017, the race was renamed the '''Advance Auto Parts Clash''' after [[Advance Auto Parts]] signed a multi-year deal to sponsor the event.<ref>{{cite web|last=Menzer|first=Joe|url=http://www.foxsports.com/nascar/story/daytona-advance-auto-parts-clash-steps-up-to-sponsor-season-opening-nascar-jimmie-johnson-011817|title=Advance Auto Parts steps up to sponsor Clash exhibition at Daytona|work=[[Foxsports.com]]|date=January 18, 2017|access-date=January 18, 2017}}</ref> The 2017 race was delayed to Sunday due to persistent rain, marking the first time the race has been run during the day since 2006.

In 2020, Busch Beer returned to assume naming rights for the race, once again dubbing it the '''Busch Clash'''.<ref>{{cite news|last=Willis|first=Ken|url=https://www.news-journalonline.com/sports/20191218/tap-kegs-busch-back-in-clash-at-daytona|title=Tap the kegs: 'Busch' back in the Clash at Daytona|newspaper=[[The Daytona Beach News-Journal]]|date=December 18, 2019|access-date=December 18, 2019}}</ref>

In 2021, the race was run on the road course layout, originally intended as a temporary effort in order to have teams use a [[Generation 6 (NASCAR)|sixth-generation chassis]] when the [[Next Gen (NASCAR)|seventh-generation chassis]] was to have debuted at the Daytona 500 that year. Teams would not have had enough seventh-generation cars available for the Daytona 500, so NASCAR intended to use the sixth-generation road course car (which can be repurposed into an Xfinity Series chassis) at Daytona for cost savings.<ref>{{cite news|last=Cain|first=Holly|url=https://www.nascar.com/news-media/2020/03/04/nascars-season-opening-busch-clash-moving-to-daytona-road-course-in-2021|title=NASCAR's season-opening Busch Clash moving to Daytona road course in 2021|publisher=[[NASCAR.com]]|date=March 4, 2020|access-date=March 4, 2020}}</ref>

[[File:LA Memorial Coliseum During Busch Light Clash.jpg|thumb|Spectators at the LA Memorial Coliseum for the 2022 Clash]]

Originally, it was planned that the 2022 Clash would return to a standard schedule (the 2021 Speedweeks schedule was shortened because of [[Super Bowl LV]] in nearby Tampa), taking place with sixth-generation cars on the road course. That changed when the {{nfly|2021}}-22 NFL year moved Super Bowl LVI back a week and into the traditional Speedweeks date after the 2022 Daytona 500 date was announced. NASCAR then moved the renamed '''Busch Light Clash''' to the [[Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum]], meaning the event would be held away from Daytona for the first time, and during the NFL's off-week between the conference championship games and [[Super Bowl LVI]], which was held in nearby [[Inglewood, California|Inglewood]] for the first time.  In June 2022, NASCAR announced that the Clash at the Coliseum would return for 2023 and in September 2023, NASCAR announced again that the Clash at the Coliseum would return for 2024. The 2024 Clash was bumped up from the traditional Sunday race and moved to Saturday due to weather projections, thus making it general admission.<ref>{{Cite web |date=17 September 2023 |title=Busch Light Clash set to return to LA Coliseum in 2024 |url=https://www.nascar.com/news-media/2023/09/17/busch-light-clash-set-to-return-to-la-coliseum-in-2024/#:~:text=NASCAR%20announced%20on%20Sunday%20during,event%20scheduled%20for%20Feb.%204 |website=nascar.com}}</ref>

==Race format==
===1979–1990===
The race consisted of a single twenty-lap (50-mile) green flag sprint with no pit stops required. Caution flag laps would not count.  A development series race, the Automobile Racing Club of America series, usually was featured as part of the event.

===1991–1997===
The race was broken into two ten-lap, green flag segments. The field was then inverted for the second ten-lap segment. Prize money was awarded for both segments for all positions. The race was broken up into two segments mainly because it had been lacking competitiveness since restrictor plates were introduced in 1988. The inversion rule added some needed excitement to the event, but its popularity continued to wane.  Again, the Clash was the support race for paying fans, as the ARCA 200 was usually held after the Clash.

===1998–2000===
The event was renamed the Bud Shootout, and consisted of two 25-lap (62.5-mile) races, the Bud Shootout Qualifier at 11&nbsp;am, and the Bud Shootout itself at 12&nbsp;pm. One two-tire pit stop was required for each race. The winner of the qualifier advanced to the main event.

===2001–2002===
The event was renamed the Budweiser Shootout and expanded to a new distance, 70 laps (175 miles). Caution laps would be counted, but the finish had to be under green, with the [[Camping World Truck Series|Truck Series]] [[Green-white-checker finish|green-white-checker rule]] used if necessary. A minimum of one two-tire green flag pit stop was required. The Bud Shootout Qualifier was discontinued because second round qualifying for Cup races had been eliminated.

===2003–2008===
The race was broken up into two segments: a 20-lap segment, followed by a ten-minute intermission, concluding with a 50-lap second segment. While a pit stop was no longer required by rule, a reduction in fuel cell size (from 22 gallons to 13.5 gallons) made a fuel stop necessary. (In 2007, fuel cells were expanded to 18.5 gallons.)  Many drivers also changed two tires during their fuel stop, as the time required to fuel the car allowed for a two-tire change without additional delay.

===2009–2012===
The first segment was expanded to 25 laps, followed by the 50-lap second segment. The total race distance was 75 laps (187.5 miles).

===2013–2015===
The race was divided into three segments (30 laps, 25 laps, 20-laps), with online fan voting deciding certain aspects of the race specifics (lengths of the segments, requirements for mandatory pit stops, number of drivers eliminated, etc.)<ref name=br-newformat>{{cite web|title=NASCAR Sprint Cup Season Will Begin with Unlimited Surprises|url=http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1494978-nascar-sprint-cup-season-will-begin-with-unlimited-surprises|publisher=Bleacher Report|access-date=21 January 2013}}</ref> The total race distance was 75 laps (187.5 miles). For 2013, the vote resulted in a mandatory four-tire pit stop, and no cars were eliminated. For 2014, voting set the starting lineup per final practice speeds and required mandatory pit stops after the second segment.

===2016–2020===
The race still kept its 75-lap distance, and returned to the 2003 format with one exception;  the first segment was now 25 laps instead of 20 laps.  The race originally consisted of a 20-lap/50-mile, "all-out sprint" for the previous season's pole position winners (considered the ''de facto'' "fastest drivers on the circuit") and added previous Daytona Pole Award winners, former Clash race winners, former Daytona 500 pole winners, and drivers who qualified for the preceding season's [[NASCAR playoffs]]. Any driver in the field had to have competed full-time in the Cup Series in 2016.

===2021===
The race was planned with the [[Next Gen (NASCAR)|seventh-generation car]] changeover happening at the Daytona 500, which was postponed a year by supply chain and development issues from the pandemic lockdowns that severely altered the previous season.  As a result, the race was moved to the road course using the previous sixth-generation cars to save teams resources and ensure the single-source new chassis (which teams did not have enough at the time) would not be potentially destroyed in crashes during the event after the previous season's Clash ended with incidents that few cars were remaining, to curb the blocking that created massive crashes.  A 200 kilometer (126.35 miles to be exact) race, the segments were 15 and 20 laps, respectively.

===2022–2024===
On September 14, 2021, NASCAR announced that the Busch Clash would move to the [[Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.jayski.com/2021/09/14/2022-clash-to-be-held-at-the-los-angeles-coliseum/ |title=2022 Clash to be held at the Los Angeles Coliseum |website=[[Jayski's Silly Season Site]] |publisher=NASCAR Digital Media, LLC. |date=September 14, 2021 |access-date=September 15, 2021}}</ref><ref name="Bianchi">{{Cite web |url=https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/4199811/2021/09/14/nascars-2022-schedule-shakes-up-playoff-tracks-adds-gateway-in-june/ |title=NASCAR's 2022 schedule shakes up playoff tracks, adds Gateway in June: Sources |last=Bianchi |first=Jordan |website=[[The Athletic]] |date=September 14, 2021 |access-date=September 15, 2021}}</ref> On November 9, 2021, the format for the 2022 Clash was announced:<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.nascar.com/news-media/2021/11/09/competition-format-for-busch-light-clash-at-the-coliseum-includes-heat-races-last-chance-qualifying-events/ |title=Competition format for Busch Light Clash at the Coliseum includes heat races, last-chance qualifiers |website=NASCAR.com |publisher=NASCAR Digital Media, LLC |date=November 9, 2021 |access-date=November 13, 2021}}</ref>

On December 21, 2022, NASCAR made further changes to the Busch Clash by expanding transfer positions from four to five cars in each heat, thereby expanding the field from 23 to 27 cars.

* The event was open for all teams and drivers for the first time in its history.
* A total of 350 laps in seven races.
* The 36 charter teams and up to four open teams  participated in qualifying. Should more than 40 teams enter the race, the four fastest times in qualifying determine who advances to the heat races.
* Based on lap times, cars were put in one of four heat races of 25 laps each.
* The top four (2022) or five (2023) drivers in each 25-lap heat advanced to the feature.
* All non-advancing drivers in the 25-lap heats were assigned to one of two 50-lap "Last Chance Qualifiers (LCQs)."
* The top three drivers in each 50-lap LCQ formed the 17th-21st (2022) or 21st-26th (2023) starting positions in the feature, with the top three in the 1st LCQ lining up in the odd-numbered positions and the top 3 in the 2nd LCQ in the even-numbered positions. 
* The highest driver in the previous year's Cup Series points standings not already advanced advanced to the feature in the last position (27th).
* The feature is 150 laps (green flag only in 2023).

===2025–present===
On August 17, 2024, it was announced that the Busch Clash would move to [[Bowman Gray Stadium]] on February 2, 2025.<ref name=bowmangray>{{cite web|url=https://www.nascar.com/news-media/2024/08/17/cup-series-2025-season-opening-clash-exhibition-bowman-gray-stadium/|title=Season-opening Clash exhibition heads to Bowman Gray Stadium in 2025|first=Zack|last=Albert|date=August 17, 2024|access-date=August 17, 2024}}</ref>

On January 21, 2025, NASCAR announced changes to the Busch Clash, increasing the number of transfer positions from five cars per heat. As a result, the field size was adjusted from 27 cars back to 23 cars.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Page |first=Scott |date=2025-01-21 |title=NASCAR announces Cook Out Clash at Bowman Gray Stadium format |url=https://www.jayski.com/2025/01/21/nascar-announces-cook-out-clash-at-bowman-gray-stadium-format/ |access-date=2025-01-21 |website=Jayski's NASCAR Silly Season Site |language=en-US}}</ref>

Changes for 2025 included the following:
* '''Heat Races''' – Four heat races of 25 laps each with only green flag laps counted. If the safety car is called in the final lap, the race is over.  The top five from each heat race advance through to The Clash.
* '''B Main''' – One "B Main" style race of 75 green flag laps is used.  Starting position determined by where they finished in their respective heat races. The LCQ race is 75 green flag laps, and would end if the safety car is called in the final lap.  The top two finishers in the LCQ will transfer to The Clash.  The provisional will continue to be used for the highest in points.
* '''A Main'''– The main event is now 200 green laps, with a break after 100 laps.  If the safety car happens during Lap 200, the race will be extended.

==Race eligibility==
* '''1979–2008''': Pole position winners from the previous season clinched automatic berths. From 1979 to 2000, qualifying consisted of two rounds, one driver based on the second round qualifying format was automatically admitted.
** '''1979–1997, 2001''':  The drivers that were the fastest qualifiers for the previous year's races' during Busch second round qualifying (except for those who had won awards for first round qualifying had their names omitted) were eligible for one wild card spot. The wild card driver was selected by blind draw during the week of the January media tour (until 1981), or at NASCAR's end of season prizegiving banquet at the [[Waldorf-Astoria]] in December (1982-1997).
** '''1995–96''':  The winner of the most pole positions in the secondary NASCAR Busch Series won an entry into the Busch Clash as a wild card, driving a Busch-sponsored car. David Green won the right both times.
** '''1998–2000''': Drivers eligible from second round qualifying participated in the Bud Shootout Qualifier, with the winner advancing to the main event Bud Shootout.
* '''2002–08''': All former winners of the event not already qualified received automatic berths.
* '''2009''':  With the 2008 season being the first where Coors replaced Anheuser-Busch as the series' pole award sponsor, pole winners were no longer part of qualifying formats.  The field consists of 28 cars. The top six teams from each manufacturer ([[Ford Motor Company|Ford]], [[Chevrolet]], [[Dodge]], and [[Toyota]]) based on owners' points from the previous season clinch berths, for a total of 24 cars. Unlike previous formats, the ''entry'' (team) receives the berth, not the ''driver''. In addition, each of the four manufacturers receive one "[[Wild card (sports)|wild card]]" berth for a car/driver not already qualified, to bring the grand total to 28 cars. The other four "entries" were for previous champions and past Shootout winners. This system was discarded after only one year as it was largely unpopular.
* '''2010–11''': A new qualifying format was introduced, which expanded the field, with no size limitations:
**The 12 drivers from the previous season's NASCAR Playoffs
**Previous Budweiser Shootout winners
**Previous points-paying race winners at [[Daytona International Speedway|Daytona]] ([[Daytona 500]] or [[Coke Zero 400]])
**Previous [[List of Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series champions|Sprint Cup champions]]
**The last 10 [[NASCAR Rookie of the Year|Rookies of year]] (in 2010, it was only the reigning rookie of the year)
* '''2012''': The field was once again expanded. Automatic bids went to the top 25 in series points (every driver from defending series champion [[Tony Stewart]] through 25th place [[Brian Vickers]]), as well as any Daytona race winner who was not otherwise qualified and who competed in at least one race in 2011 (which enabled [[Bill Elliott]], [[Geoff Bodine]], [[Derrike Cope]], [[Michael Waltrip]], [[Jamie McMurray]], [[Trevor Bayne]], [[Terry Labonte]], and [[Ken Schrader]] to make the race if they decide to run).
* '''2013–14''': With Sprint now taking over sponsorship of the race, the Speedway reverted to the 2002-08 format where all drivers who won pole positions via time trials (does not include winners of practice one, should qualifying not be held because of inclement weather) and previous winners of the event that have attempted to qualify for any of the 36 points races in the previous season are eligible. The driver does not have to win the then-Coors Light Pole Award (which could happen if the driver does not have a beer sticker) in order to claim an Unlimited seat, just set the fastest time in pole qualifying.  The beer sticker mandate was also eliminated by the track.<ref name="2013 shootout">{{cite web | url=http://www.nascar.com/news/120219/shootout-eligibility-2013/index.html | title=Shootout eligibility returns to its roots for 2013 | publisher=NASCAR | work=Official release | date=February 19, 2012 | access-date=February 19, 2012}}</ref>
* '''2015–16:''' Eligibility was once again changed, with a minimum of 25 eligible entries.  In addition to the traditional pole winners and former race winners, additional eligibility was added.  These additional slots were awarded to:<ref name="2015 Sprint Unlimited Eligibility">{{cite web | url=http://www.nascar.com/en_us/news-media/articles/2014/12/15/expanded-2015-sprint-unlimited-field-to-feature-chase-drivers-news-release.html | title=Expanded Sprint Unlimited field to feature Chase drivers | publisher=NASCAR | work=Official release | date=December 15, 2014 | access-date=December 16, 2014}}</ref> 
**The 16 drivers who made the Playoffs.
**Previous Daytona 500 front row starters (both inside and outside polesitters) if they did not win a pole position at any of the other 35 races during the previous season
**To ensure the field was 25 cars, if there were fewer than 25 drivers eligible, any remaining spots are filled by the highest drivers in the previous season's final point standings to not be automatically entered into the Unlimited on any of the other qualifications
* '''2017–18:''' The minimum number of cars rule and the outside pole winners for the Daytona 500 rule were removed. The field consisted of pole winners, former Clash race winners, former Daytona 500 pole winners, and drivers who qualified for the NASCAR Playoffs. Similar to the 2009 format based on teams, NASCAR gave a special exemption for rookie [[Daniel Suarez]] since Joe Gibbs Racing already had a car prepared for [[Carl Edwards]] who surprisingly retired just a month before the race.
* '''2019–20:''' Daytona 500 champions were also eligible to participate in the Clash. In addition, drivers in categories other than the traditional pole winners from the previous season (former Clash, Daytona 500 pole, and race winners, in addition to playoff drivers) must have participated full-time in the previous season. 
* '''2021:''' Due to the [[COVID-19 pandemic]] in 2020 where only five races (Daytona 500, Auto Club, and the first races at Las Vegas, Phoenix, and Charlotte) had pole qualifying, the eligibility requirements for the 2021 Clash were changed to the following:<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.jayski.com/2020/11/17/2021-busch-clash-eligibility-announced/ |title=2021 Busch Clash eligibility announced |website=[[Jayski's Silly Season Site]] |publisher=NASCAR Digital Media, LLC. |date=November 17, 2020 |access-date=November 18, 2020}}</ref>
**Busch Pole Award winners from the five races where it was held.
**Busch Clash winners who raced full-time in the previous season
**Daytona 500 winners who raced full-time in the previous season
**Daytona 500 Busch Pole Award winners who raced full-time in the previous season
**Playoff drivers of the previous season
**Race winners of the previous season
**Stage winners of the previous season
* '''2022–present:'''  All 36 chartered teams participate, and non-chartered teams may attempt to qualify for one of four positions for heat races, for one of 22 (2022) or 26 (2023) positions from heat races. The highest-ranked driver in final points standings that did not qualify will also advance to the feature.

==Race history==
* '''1979''': The race debuted on Sunday, broadcast live on [[CBS]]. Pole position qualifying for the [[1979 Daytona 500|Daytona 500]] would start Sunday at 10&nbsp;am, followed by the [[Lucas Oil Slick Mist 200|ARCA 200]]. The Busch Clash would be held after the ARCA race at 3&nbsp;pm.
* '''1980''': Heavy winds during [[1980 Daytona 500|Daytona 500]] pole qualifying delayed the proceedings and the ARCA 200 began 90 minutes later than scheduled. As 3&nbsp;pm approached, the ARCA race was red flagged and halted so that the Busch Clash could be held as scheduled and be shown on live television. After the Clash was finished, the ARCA race resumed.
* '''1981''': Morning rain washed out [[1981 Daytona 500|Daytona 500]] pole qualifying, which was rescheduled for the following day. After the track dried Sunday, the ARCA race began at 2:30&nbsp;pm. The Busch Clash, scheduled for 3&nbsp;pm, was held following the delayed ARCA race.
* '''1983''': Rain washed out all scheduled activities for Sunday. The Busch Clash was rescheduled and run the following day, Monday.
* '''1984''': [[Ricky Rudd]] was spun off the track at turn four at a very high speed, resulting in a [[List of motorsport terminology#B|blowover]], then a series of violent flips. Ricky suffered a concussion, and his eyes were so swollen that he had to tape them open so he could race in that Thursday's [[Budweiser Duel|UNO Twin 125]] and subsequent races. Rudd missed the inside wall during his wreck; during the second Twin 125, Randy Lajoie was not as fortunate.
* '''1985''': Track officials reorganized the schedule for track activities for the weekend. [[1985 Daytona 500|Daytona 500]] pole qualifying was moved from Sunday to Saturday, and the Busch Clash was moved from 3&nbsp;pm to 12&nbsp;pm on Sunday. The ARCA 200 was then held after the Busch Clash rather than before.
* '''1992''': For one year, [[1992 Daytona 500|Daytona 500]] pole qualifying and the Busch Clash swapped days. The Busch Clash was held Saturday, and qualifying was held Sunday. This move was made at the request of [[CBS]], who wanted the additional time on Sunday for their coverage of the [[1992 Winter Olympics]].
* '''1995''': Morning rain delayed the start by 30 minutes.
* '''2001''': [[NASCAR on FOX|FOX]] broadcasts the race for the first time. It also marked the first race televised on [[Fox Broadcasting Company|Fox]]. The start time was shifted to 2&nbsp;pm on Sundays.
* '''2002''': [[NASCAR on TNT|TNT]] broadcast the race for the first time.
* '''2003''': The race was run at night for the first time.
* '''2004''': A crash at the final lap resulted in controversy. A 2003 incident at [[New Hampshire Motor Speedway|Loudon]] involving [[Dale Jarrett]] and [[Casey Mears]] had resulted in the banning of [[racing back to the caution]]. In this case, NASCAR did not wave the caution at the end of the race despite a crash involving [[Ryan Newman (racing driver)|Ryan Newman]] and [[Jamie McMurray]], and allow the race to run to the finish, creating a potentially dangerous situation. Ironically, Dale Jarrett won the race.
* '''2005''': The ARCA race was stopped for 45 minutes because of repairs to the catchfencing, and was stopped 15 laps short in order to prepare for the Budweiser Shootout.
* '''2006''': The event was postponed from Saturday night to Sunday afternoon due to rain. This was also the first shootout to feature the green-white-checkered finish. [[Denny Hamlin]] became the first rookie to win the event in 2006 in his #11 car.
* '''2007''': [[Tony Stewart]] won the race for the third time driving his No. 20 car.  It was the second win in a row for [[Joe Gibbs Racing]] because Denny Hamlin won in 2006.
* '''2008''': [[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]] won the race for the second time, and won in his first start with [[Hendrick Motorsports]]. He also made the record of leading the most laps, 47, during the shootout.
* '''2009''': [[Kevin Harvick]], won the race for the first time on a last-lap pass reminiscent of his [[2007 Daytona 500]] last-lap pass on Mark Martin.  This time however Harvick passed Jamie McMurray in Turn 3 for the win as an accident would occur behind Harvick, also the same scenario happened in the 500 for Harvick.
* '''2010''': All Daytona 500 qualifying weekend activity was moved to Saturday, as not to conflict with [[Super Bowl XLIV]].  Daytona 500 qualifying started at 12 noon, then the ARCA Lucas Oil Slick Mist 200 at 4:30&nbsp;pm, and the Budweiser Shootout was held at 8&nbsp;pm. [[Kevin Harvick]] won the race for the second time in a row, becoming the first driver to win it consecutively since [[Tony Stewart]].
* '''2011''': After the track was repaved in the off-season, teams found tandem drafting to become prevalent at the restrictive plate tracks during the preseason.  During the final laps, the lead pack of four cars ran single file, with [[Ryan Newman (racing driver)|Ryan Newman]] in the lead, followed by [[Denny Hamlin]], then [[Kurt Busch]], and then [[Jamie McMurray]]. Coming out of Turn 4 on the final lap, Busch and McMurray pulled to the outside, while [[Denny Hamlin]] pulled to the inside. Hamlin exceeds track limits in passing Newman for the win, with Busch and McMurray passing Newman legally. Upon as review, Hamlin was dropped to the last car on the lead lap, in 13th, for exceeding track limits and all other drivers on the lead lap gained a position, giving Busch the win.
* '''2012''': [[Kyle Busch]] won the race after passing [[Tony Stewart]] at the finish line.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.espn.com/racing/nascar/cup/story/_/id/7590901/kyle-busch-edges-tony-stewart-wins-budweiser-shootout-exhibition | title=Kyle Busch wins Budweiser Shootout | publisher=ESPN | date=February 19, 2012 | access-date=January 7, 2013}}</ref> It was the closest finish in Bud Shootout history. The race itself, being the first Sprint Cup event under a new rules package designed to break up the controversial two-car tandem drafting of the previous year, was marked by three multi-car crashes during the race caused by drivers getting into the left-rear quarter panel of another car. The first crash happened in the first 25 lap segment when [[Paul Menard]] got into [[David Ragan]] in turn 2, starting an eight car crash. The drivers involved were: [[Kasey Kahne]], [[Denny Hamlin]], [[Matt Kenseth]], [[Paul Menard]], [[Jeff Burton]], [[David Ragan]], [[Juan Pablo Montoya]] and [[Michael Waltrip]]. The second one happened on lap 55, also in turn 2. This one started when [[Marcos Ambrose]] turned [[Joey Logano]] loose. Several other drivers were collected trying to avoid Logano, including Kenseth, [[Martin Truex Jr.]], [[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]] and [[Kevin Harvick]]. Harvick's brakes failed, and he ended up coasting down the apron with flames coming out from under his car, though they extinguished themselves before Harvick reached the garage. A third crash happened with two laps to go within regulation, when [[Jeff Gordon]] got into the back of eventual winner Kyle Busch on turn 4. While Kyle retained control of his car, Gordon shot up the banking and collected [[Jimmie Johnson]], [[Jamie McMurray]] and [[Kurt Busch]], and turned sideways on the driver's side door. Gordon was pushed down the track on his side for several hundred feet before his car barrel-rolled three times and came to a rest on his roof.
* '''2013''': [[Kevin Harvick]] won for the third time in the race. This was the first time the event was named the Sprint Unlimited. This race also marked the debut of the Sixth Generation car.
* '''2014:''' [[Denny Hamlin]] won his second Unlimited by overtaking [[Brad Keselowski]] with drafting help from [[Kyle Busch]] with two laps to go. The first race under a new rules package that included a slightly taller spoiler, there were numerous wrecks, including a frightening wreck on lap 35 when [[Matt Kenseth]] was turned by [[Joey Logano]] in the trioval, collecting [[Kevin Harvick]], [[Kurt Busch]], [[Tony Stewart]], [[Danica Patrick]], [[Jeff Gordon]], [[Carl Edwards]] and [[Ricky Stenhouse Jr.]], which saw Stenhouse's car first drive under Busch's rear wheels, lose its brakes and steering, before t-boning Patrick on the apron. The race also saw an incident during the break between the second and third segments in which the [[Holden Commodore (VF)|Holden Commodore]] [[safety car]] suffered an electrical fire with the wiring harness used to control the safety car lights suffered a wiring short circuit. There were 16 lead changes among seven drivers.
* '''2015''': [[Matt Kenseth]] won the race with [[Martin Truex Jr.]] challenging in the final laps. [[Brad Keselowski]] crashed hard on the front straight at lap 25, and [[Jamie McMurray]] caused the big one later in the race. After the race, defending series champion [[Kevin Harvick]] and [[Joey Logano]] were involved in an altercation after Logano's 22 sent Harvick's 4 into the turn four wall coming to the white flag.
* '''2016:''' Hamlin took command of the field and moved ahead of the No. 2 car. Eventually, Keselowski moved by him coming to the line and took the lead on lap 34. Hamlin shot ahead of Keselowski on the backstretch to take the lead back the next lap. Keselowski used a push from teammate [[Joey Logano]] to retake the lead on lap 37. Just like his first stint in the lead, he picked up another piece of debris that covered his grill. The third caution of the race flew on lap 44 for a single-car spin on the backstretch. Going down the backstretch, Johnson made contact with Mears that sent him spinning through the grass.<ref name="Hamlin holds on to win his third career Sprint Unlimited" >{{cite news|last=Kelly|first=Godwin|title=Hamlin holds on to win his third career Sprint Unlimited|url=http://www.news-journalonline.com/article/20160213/SPORTS/160219704/101063/racing|access-date=February 14, 2016|work=[[The Daytona Beach News-Journal]]|publisher=[[GateHouse Media|GateHouse Media, Inc.]]|date=February 13, 2016|location=[[Daytona Beach, Florida]]}}</ref> His car dug into the ground and ripped off the front fender.<ref name="Hamlin holds on to win his third career Sprint Unlimited" /> He said afterwards that he "did a decent job of backing out of there and not causing a big one as the door shut on me."<ref>{{cite web|last=Kramer|first=Daniel|title=NASCAR at Daytona 2016 Results: Sprint Unlimited Winner, Finish Order, Reaction|url=http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2616467-nascar-at-daytona-2016-results-sprint-unlimited-winner-times-and-reaction|website=bleacherreport.com|publisher=[[Bleacher Report|Bleacher Report, Inc.]]|access-date=February 14, 2016|date=February 13, 2016}}</ref> Keselowski opted to stay out while the rest of the field opted to pit, The race restarted with two laps to go in overtime, The field passed the overtime line and the race was official at that point.

*'''2017:''' For just the second time in the event's history, the race was postponed from Saturday Night to Sunday Afternoon due to rain. Kurt Busch lasted just shy of 20 laps as Jimmie Johnson got loose off of turn 4 and spun Busch. Denny Hamlin dominated and looked to be on his way to his fourth win in the event leading 48 laps. After leading at the white flag, [[Brad Keselowski]] made a move to the inside that Hamlin left open, which led to Hamlin driving into Keselowski in a failed attempt to block him, ultimately ending their chances at winning. As the collision happened, Keselowski's teammate [[Joey Logano]] was able to avoid the incident on the high side and ultimately won the event for the first time in his career over Kyle Busch and [[Alex Bowman]]. Danica Patrick managed to finish 4th after running 10th at the white flag.
*'''2018:''' Unlike all the other years, except for 2006 and 2017, the race was held on Sunday Afternoon. The race saw only two caution flags, one for the end of the segment, and the other caused by [[Jamie McMurray]] crashing in turn 4 after contact with [[Kurt Busch]] on lap 34. He would ultimately be the only one not running at the end of the race. This was the first race where crew members only allow five men over the wall instead of six, with the fastest pit stop going to [[Kurt Busch]] at 16.9 seconds. [[Brad Keselowski]] would win his first Clash race as a big wreck happened on the last lap where [[Kyle Larson]] turns [[Jimmie Johnson]] into the outside wall on the back straightaway collecting [[Kyle Busch]], [[Chase Elliott]], [[Kasey Kahne]], and [[Martin Truex Jr.]]
*'''2019:''' For the first time in the race's history, it was truncated due to rain. [[Paul Menard]] drew the pole and led 51 laps all through the rain-plagued race, breaking the record held by Dale Earnhardt Jr. for most laps led in the event. Rain red-flagged the race three times, first on lap 10, and a second time on lap 45. Racing was very tame as Menard led the entire 20 car field single file in the high groove. With more rain on the horizon, drivers were starting to make their moves. On lap 56 [[Jimmie Johnson]] got a run on Menard and in an attempt to get the lead by side-drafting, made contact with Menard. The ensuing contact triggered the "Big One" that involved 17 of the 20 cars in the field when Menard spun back across the track. As the field with Johnson now out in front circled the track under caution, rain began to fall once again. After being brought down pit road with 59 of the scheduled 75 laps completed and red-flagged for a third time, NASCAR called the race over, with Johnson taking home his second Clash triumph with controversy. Only eight of the 17 cars involved continued and were scored as having finished the race, resulting in only 11 of the 20 starters finishing the race. The race would ultimately be Johnson's last NASCAR-sanctioned victory.
*'''2020:''' Three multiple-car crashes in the final ten laps and overtime was the last straw.  With ten laps remaining, [[Joey Logano]] makes a block on Kyle Busch, causing a six-car incident in Turn 4.  The race restarts with three laps remaining.  William Byron and Ryan Newman make contact on the restart before the race is officially restarted, and a ten-car incident occurs.  The race is extended to overtime.  On the ensuing restart in the green-white-checkered finish, on Lap 78, another 11-car incident occurs in Turn 3, leading to a 7:27 red flag.  On Lap 84, Turn 4 is the site of another crash with Chase Elliott and Kyle Larson, with Erik Jones also involved.  Only six cars make the restart on Lap 87, which lets the one lapped car of Denny Hamlin, badly damaged, to push Erik Jones in the final two-lap restart.  
*'''2021:'''  On March 4, 2020, NASCAR, fed up with the five massive incidents in the past 150 laps (from 2018 to 2020), and with plans for the seventh-generation cars to debut in 2021, and to alleviate an issue with nearby [[Super Bowl LV]] in Tampa, moves the Busch Clash to Tuesday night of Daytona 500 week, on the road course, and intended to be run with the current sixth-generation car as the last race before the new seventh-generation car would debut at Daytona the next night during qualifying.  However, two weeks after the announcement, the season is suspended ten weeks because of a lockdown.  When the season restarted, no qualifying would be held, and development of the new car was delayed where it would not debut until the 2022 season.  Still, NASCAR decided to keep the road course plans.  In July 2020, NASCAR replaced the [[Watkins Glen International]] race with a third race at Daytona, on the road course.  In December 2020, NASCAR cancelled for the 2021 season the Fontana round by extending the Daytona race meeting into having the first two rounds of all three national series races at Daytona, one on the oval and one on the road course.  In addition, the Clash format is changed to pole winners, former Daytona winners, and stage winners.  The 35-lap race on the road course had only one engine failure causing a caution, and a collision in the Le Mans chicane resulting in no safety car.  At the finish, Kyle Busch won in the final quarter mile of the race when Chase Elliott and Ryan Blaney crashed in the chicane before pit entrance.

==Race notes==
* Six times the winner of the Clash at Daytona has gone on to win the Daytona 500 the following weekend: [[Bobby Allison]] (1982), [[Bill Elliott]] (1987), [[Dale Jarrett]] (1996, 2000), [[Jeff Gordon]] (1997), and [[Denny Hamlin]] (2016).
* Though there have been drivers who have won all three of the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series events of Speedweeks at Daytona – the Clash at Daytona, the Can-Am Duel, and the Daytona 500 – there has not yet been a driver who won all three events in the same year. Twice, an Earnhardt won two of the events, but came up short by losing to [[Dale Jarrett]] in the third: in 2004, [[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]] won the Budweiser Duel and the Daytona 500, but finished second to Jarrett in the Unlimited. In 1993, [[Dale Earnhardt]] won the Unlimited and the Budweiser Duel, but finished second to Jarrett in the Daytona 500. In 2014, [[Denny Hamlin]] joined this group, winning the Unlimited and the second Duel race, but losing to [[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]] in the 500.
* While it was still named the Busch Clash, on two occasions, the race had the year in its official title. The '''Busch Clash of '89''' and the '''Busch Clash of '93''' were the respective advertised titles.
* From 1979 until 2008, the drivers themselves qualified as eligible for the Budweiser Shootout, not the teams. If an eligible driver for the upcoming Shootout switches teams in the off-season, the driver, not the team, is eligible for the race. That driver competes in the race with his new team.
* Until 2008, drivers who win the pole award at a race must have had an Anheuser-Busch decal (the Busch brand from 1979 to 1997, and the Budweiser brand 1998–2007), or the corporate logo affixed to their car (for drivers under 21 years of age) at the time in order to earn the berth for the Budweiser Shootout.  If the car does not carry the sticker, the Budweiser Pole Award goes to the next car eligible, but the driver which wins the Budweiser Pole Award does not earn a Shootout spot.
** In 1998, [[John Andretti]] was eligible to race in the Bud Shootout for having won a pole position in 1997 racing for [[Cale Yarborough]]. In the off-season, Andretti switched to [[Petty Enterprises]], which was not allowed to participate, since they chose not to affix the proper decals to their cars – it was Petty family tradition to not permit alcohol decals or sponsorship on their cars. Andretti participated in the race in a one-off ride with [[Hendrick Motorsports]].  (Ricky Craven, the regular driver for Hendrick's Budweiser-sponsored Chevrolet, did not qualify for the race;  Andretti drove the Hendrick car, which carried the usual No. 25 instead of the No. 50 otherwise used by the team for NASCAR's 50-year celebration in 1998.)
** [[Bobby Hamilton]] won the pole position for the 1997 [[3M Performance 400|Miller 400]] racing for Petty Enterprises, but was not eligible for the 1998 Bud Shootout since the team chose not to affix the proper decal.
** John Andretti won the pole position for the 1998 [[Primestar 500 (Atlanta)|Primestar 500]] racing for Petty Enterprises, but was not eligible for the 1999 Bud Shootout since the team chose not to affix the proper decal. [[Todd Bodine]] was the official winner of the Bud Pole Award by NASCAR rule, but not awarded a Budweiser Shootout position.
** [[Jeff Green (NASCAR)|Jeff Green]] won the pole position for the 2003 [[Daytona 500]] racing Richard Childress Racing's No. 30 AOL Chevrolet, but did not participate in the 2004 Budweiser Shootout. Green changed teams twice in 2003 ending up in the No. 43 Petty Enterprises Dodge (which he also signed to drive in 2004). As usual, since the team chose not to affix the proper decal the No. 43 was ineligible for the Shootout. Green could have driven for another team, but chose not to do so.
** [[Aric Almirola]] drove the [[Evernham Motorsports|Richard Petty Motorsports]] No. 43, which does not have the (since 2008) [[Molson Coors Brewing Company]]-provided Pole Award sticker (Coors Light or Coors Brewing 21 Means 21), per Petty policy.  With InBev withdrawing sponsorship of the Shootout, the 2013 Shootout does not have an alcohol sticker mandate, the circuit he will be in the first race of the new 2013 format.
* Drivers must carry a special decal without the alcohol brand if they are under 21 years of age, but could race in the Shootout.  Drivers must be 21 or older to wear alcohol decals, and those under 21 must wear a special sticker, which during Anheuser-Busch era was a corporate logo Pole Award sticker, without any brand indication, and since [[Molson]]'s Coors Light took over in 2008, a "Coors Brewing Company 21 Means 21" sticker. Special stickers are made to cover up alcohol for such drivers, which has happened four times involving two drivers:
** On May 14, 2004, 20-year-old [[Brian Vickers]] won the pole at [[Richmond International Raceway|Richmond]] in the [[Chevy American Revolution 400]].
** On September 3, 2004, Vickers won the pole at the [[Pop Secret 500]] at [[California Speedway|Fontana]].
** On February 26, 2005, 19-year-old [[Kyle Busch]] won his first pole at the very same race in Fontana.
** On April 20, 2006, Busch won the pole at [[Phoenix International Raceway|Avondale, Arizona]] at 20 years, 353 days.
* Except during 2013 to 2019 (and again in 2025), drivers under 21 were not permitted to participate in formal activities relating to the race, such as the draw for position and other activities such as conferences related to the race because of the alcohol sponsorship.  In those cases, the crew chief will participate in such activities.  The suspension of the alcohol sponsorship between the time period eliminated the rule.
** In the 2005 Shootout (Vickers under age), [[Lance McGrew]], who was the new crew chief for Vickers that season, participated in the Shootout draw.
** In the 2006 Shootout (Busch under age), Alan Gustafson participated in the Shootout draw.
** In the 2009 Shootout ([[Joey Logano]] under age), [[Greg Zipadelli]] participated in the Shootout draw.
* Dale Jarrett (2000) and Tony Stewart (2002, 2007) are the only drivers to win the Budweiser Shootout without having won a pole position the previous year. Jarrett advanced to the Shootout by winning the Bud Shootout Qualifier, and Stewart was eligible for the Shootout via the 2001 rule change adding a lifetime exemption for former winners.
* 2006 Shootout winner [[Denny Hamlin]] was the first rookie to win the event. He had won the pole at [[Phoenix International Raceway|Phoenix]] in a seven-race tryout for [[Joe Gibbs Racing]] to find a driver for the FedEx No. 11 car late in the [[2005 NASCAR Nextel Cup Series]] season.  A driver can make up to five (until 2000) or seven (since 2001) starts in a season, or run portions of a season and not be declared in that series (since 2011), without giving up their eligibility to be a rookie in that series.
