DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — NASCAR’s exhibition Clash is returning to Daytona International Speedway for the first time in six years. 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. Following a week off, the NASCAR Cup Series returns to the track this weekend at Iowa Speedway in Newton, Iowa for the Iowa Corn 350 Powered by Ethanol. In the last Cup Series race, Corey Heim held off a late surge from Christopher Bell to secure his second series victory and first at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
