Tim Brown, 53, is finally getting the opportunity to be a NASCAR Cup Series driver.
Bowman Gray Stadium is the reason why. For the first time since 1971, the track will host a NASCAR Cup Series race with the Cook Out Clash taking place Sunday. It's an annual exhibition event to kick off the season, but not every driver makes it into the field. The format for this year's edition will have 23 drivers in the main event.
Brown might not be a household name among Cup Series followers and probably will be unfamiliar to some who tune into the Clash.
