The 2025 NASCAR Cup season will mark the return of the sport to the Madhouse. Bowman Gray Stadium is going to host the Busch Light Clash, which will be the first premier stock car racing event at the track in 53 years. Many drivers in the current garage have some hilarious memories racing at the track, known for its ultra-passionate fan.
The 2023 Cup champion Ryan Blaney is one of the many drivers excited for the race and he recently shared his memories of racing there as a 10-year-old. He revealed the interaction he had with a 7-year-old after winning a bandolero race there and shared that he got flipped off for winning the event.
I’ve raced there twice, in a bandolero and legend car, and my one vivid memory, I won in a bandolero when I was like 9 or 10. My one vivid memory was that there was a kid, younger than me, flip me off over the barrier when I was 10 and he was 7, and he was just doing what his parents did.
Ryan Blaney said via Sportsnaut.
He further pointed out that it was one thing from the experience of racing at Bowman Gray he still vividly remembers. He is expecting similar treatment going back to the track and hoping he can secure a race win.
I don’t think he didn’t like me or anything. It was just, this is what we do. I vividly remember that going down the frontstretch. I hope we get to see a few more going back there for the Clash. I bet we will.

William Byron shares his feelings towards Bowman Gray race
Hendrick Motorsports driver William Byron also has huge expectations about the Busch Clash at Bowman Gray. He is excited about the intimate setting, the yelling fans that is going to be there at the track compared to the last three years at LA Coliseum.
A more intimate setting, a lot of fans yelling at you. The Coliseum was great but the fans were just watching the cars and wondering what’s happening. These fans know what’s happening and will be into it.
William Byron said.
The comments from Byron are something many in the racing community aligns with and has similar excitement about the event. It would be interesting to see if the upcoming race would match the expectations the drivers are fans set for the event.
