NASCAR returns to its roots Sunday with the Cook Out Clash at Bowman Gray Stadium, which last played host to a Cup Series event more than 50 years ago. After three years on a temporary short track at the Los Angeles Coliseum, NASCAR has moved The Clash to the 0.25-mile track in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, known as “The Madhouse.”

Richard Petty and Richard Childress have a lot more in common than just their first name. Both men are NASCAR Hall of Famers, both grew up and still live in the Triad, and both have fond memories of Bowman Gray Stadium that date back more than 60 years.
