At long last, the NASCAR season has arrived. Well, somewhat. The Clash is still considered preseason, but it is the first chance to see Cup Series hit the track. It is the first look at drivers with new teams, new sponsors entering the sport, and a snapshot of what is to come in the 2025 season. Also, The Clash marks the first of the weekly Pit Pass Network Predictions article. After a long offseason, will the crew be able to improve upon their success rate from last year? Starting off with The Clash, time to get the Pit Pass Network Predictions in the record books for the NASCAR season.
Note: After The Clash, the weekly Pit Pass Network Predictions will have a new format that kicks off for Daytona. There will be reader/PPN follower participation involved so be on the look-out on our socials for how you can be part of this year’s predictions.
