Does The Clash Have An Identity Problem?

The Clash at Bowman Gray seemed to be a pretty well-received event that diehards are already clamoring for back in 2026. This race has changed in so many ways in recent years, with this being the fourth track configuration the race has been run on in just this decade alone. Fans are pulling different ways as to what they want to see out of this race. Does the Clash have an identity problem?

• Should NASCAR prioritize fan nostalgia and keep it in Daytona, or take a risk by expanding internationally?
• Can NASCAR build a lasting event at Bowman Gray, or was this year’s success just a novelty?
• Would an international Clash event help the sport grow, or risk alienating core fans?
