This ended up being the last Clash race in its traditional form; the event moved to the road course for 2021 (originally planned as the last race for the Generation 6 car; the car was used for the entire season instead) and then to the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum in 2022.
The race is 75 laps in length, and is divided into two segments; the first is 25 laps and the second is 50 laps. The race is open to those drivers who won a pole in the 2019 season or had won "The Clash" previously.
The 2020 Busch Clash will not be a predetermined number of cars; rather, the field is limited to drivers who meet more exclusive criteria. Only drivers who were 2019 Pole Award winners, former Clash race winners, former Daytona 500 champions, former Daytona 500 pole winners who competed full–time in 2019 and drivers who qualified for the 2019 Playoffs are eligible.
