The Clash at Daytona Tickets

Since 1979 the NASCAR season has opened with an exhibition race at the Daytona International Speedway. Known originally as the Busch Clash, it was sponsored by Anheuser-Busch and promoted the Busch brand. From 1997 through 2011, Anheuser-Busch's Budweiser brand served as the race sponsor. The event has also been designated as the Sprint Unlimited. For 2020, Busch has returned as the race sponsor, which will now be known as The Clash at Daytona. It opens the 2020 season on Sunday, February 9. Buddy Baker won the inaugural Busch Clash in 1979, turning the 20 laps at an average of 194.384 mph. Bill Elliott set the race record in 1987 at 197.802 mph. Dale Earnhardt won this race six times. Dale Jarrett won four times. Tony Stewart, Kevin Harvick and Denny Hamlin have three wins each. This year's Clash will be a 75-lap event. Details of the format have not been announced. The 2019 Clash was a 75-lap event that was run in two segments with a competition break at Lap 25.
