Clash at Daytona 2020 start time, TV schedule, live stream, format for Daytona 500 exhibition race



Yes, the NASCAR Cup Series has a preseason just like other major American sports leagues, but the stock car racing exhibition is a quickie that features just 75 laps around the 2.5-mile Daytona International Speedway. The annual Clash at Daytona, this year titled the Busch Clash, is scheduled for Sunday, Feb. 9 with a start time of 3 p.m. ET, almost exactly a week before the 62nd running of the Daytona 500. As always, only an exclusive group of drivers are eligible to race in the Clash. MORE: Complete TV schedule for Daytona Speedweeks Jimmie Johnson, who won last year's rain-shortened Clash at Daytona, is one of those drivers. The 2020 Clash represents the beginning of Daytona Speedweeks for all teams, but for Johnson, it marks the beginning of his last season as a driver before his retirement. "My hope for him is that he is able to enjoy a full season as much as Jeff Gordon did," Mike Joy, Fox's lead play-by-play broadcaster, told Sporting News of Johnson. The Clash will mark the first race broadcast in which Joy and Gordon will operate in a two-man booth in the wake of analyst Darrell Waltrip's retirement. The duo will call all Cup Series practices and qualifying sessions this week, including Thursday's Duels, leading up to Fox's Daytona 500 broadcast. First on the schedule, though, is the Clash. Below is all you need to know about this year's exhibition race at Daytona, including the TV/live stream info, the format for the event and the drivers included on the entry list. Sunday's Clash marks the first race broadcast for Fox's NASCAR Cup Series broadcast team in 2020, which now features the aforementioned two-man booth of Joy and Gordon. Fox's broadcast for the Clash (and all Cup races moving forward) will include more injections of analysis from Larry McReynolds and Jamie McMurray from the network's studio in Charlotte. Vince Welch, Matt Yocum, Jamie Little and Regan Smith are returning in 2020 as pit road reporters for Fox. The 18 drivers in this year's Clash (more on them below) get just one practice session to test their cars before Sunday's Clash. That session was scheduled for Saturday at 11:35 a.m. ET. Two Daytona 500 practice sessions also were scheduled for Saturday, but teams in the Clash will run different cars than those they brought for the 500.

The Houston Texans have moved to sign Randall Cobb after their shock decision to trade DeAndre Hopkins to the Arizona Cardinals. Wide receiver Cobb has agreed a three-year, $27 million deal with Houston that contains $18.75m in guarantees, according to NFL Network. The move came after star wideout Hopkins was stunningly sent to the Cardinals in a package that saw running back David Johnson move in the other direction. TRADE GRADES: Cardinals hit home run with DeAndre Hopkins; Texans whiff on return Houston also netted a second-round draft pick this year and a fourth-rounder next year, while sending away their 2020 fourth-round selection.

Jose Bautista is attempting a comeback as a two-way player: Does former MLB outfielder have a chance?

José Bautista could be coming to a bullpen near you. People are familiar with the former outfielder of Blue Jays fame for his propensity of launching dingers a long way, his bat flip and the one time he got decked by Rougned Odor. But Bautista, now 39, is attempting a comeback — with a twist. Per ESPN's Jeff Passan, Bautista has been working out in the Dominican Republic as both a hitter and a pitcher. That's right, Bautista is attempting to make a comeback as a two-way player. I've seen video of Jose Bautista throwing a bullpen session. Couldn't tell the velocity, but one source said he can run his fastball up to 94. His slider had legitimate tilt -- threw a short one and a bigger bender. @STR0 said in January he could pitch in a big league bullpen. — Jeff Passan (@JeffPassan) March 2, 2020 Per Passan, Bautista can run his fastball up to 94 mph., which is nothing to thumb your nose at, especially since he is an aging player. Bautista also boasts a slider that a...
