DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — NASCAR‘s exhibition Clash is returning to Daytona International Speedway for the first time in six years. The sanctioning body announced the move Tuesday, saying the race will be held Feb. 13, 2027. The race doesn’t count for points and is the lead-up to the season-opening Daytona 500, which is set for Feb. 21. Daytona hosted the Clash from 1979 to 2021. Snow-covered roads were too dangerous for teams and fans to get to the historic short track.
