Bowman Gray Stadium is gearing up for NASCAR Cup Series racing in 2025 by starting facility improvements, including a new Musco lighting system and SAFER barriers. The city of Winston Salem secured funds from the North Carolina Motorsports Relief Fund to cover the lighting system expenses. The LED lights at Bowman Gray will come with patented light controls for special effects, color changes, and light-to-music synchronization, similar to the system at Martinsville Speedway. The installation of both lighting and SAFER barriers is set to commence in December and be finalized by early January. NASCAR’s Ben Kennedy expressed gratitude to Musco for providing top-tier event lighting, emphasizing the stadium’s significance in showcasing national and grassroots racing. The upcoming NASCAR Clash event in February marks the first Cup Series race at Bowman Gray since 1971, a move hailed by Winston-Salem’s Mayor Allen Joines as a fantastic opportunity to highlight both the stadium and the community, enhancing the fan experience and paving the way for future national events.
