The NASCAR Cup Series returns to action Tuesday night with the Busch Clash at Daytona. The annual exhibition race marks the start of Speedweeks at Daytona International Speedway. The finish will be the 63rd running of the Daytona 500 on Feb. 14.
Much is different about this year’s event, starting with how it will be contested. The Clash has been moved to Daytona’s 14-turn, 3.61-mile road course from its 2.5-mile superspeedway. This will be the first road-course Clash in the race’s 43-year history.

Other changes involve the day and time of the race. The 2021 Clash will be a weeknight race rather than a weekend afternoon race. The event is scheduled to begin sometime after 7 p.m. ET on Tuesday. It will be broadcast on FS1, with the network’s coverage beginning at 6 p.m. ET.
“We continue to look for opportunities to differentiate the Busch Clash from the Daytona 500 and obviously everything we do around Speedweeks . . . is about building toward the 500,” Chip Wile, president of Daytona International Speedway, said last March as he announced the changes to the Clash. “This is about how we can continue to push and elevate the Busch Clash to be something different.”

An additional change from last year is that there will be no practice session for the Clash. Teams will line up and go on race night. They’ll be back on the track Wednesday afternoon for the first Daytona 500 practice session and again Wednesday night for Daytona 500 pole qualifying.
Below are the TV and radio schedules for all Cup Series sessions at Daytona this week. Sessions will be televised on Fox, FS1 or FS2 and broadcast over the Motor Racing Network (MRN). All events can be streamed on Fox Sports Go.
Below is the starting lineup for the 2021 Busch Clash at Daytona. Positions were drawn at random on Monday, Feb. 8, during a virtual meeting at Daytona International Speedway. Each crew chief chose a Busch Beer can that was marked with a number from 1–21.
