The 2020 Busch Clash was a NASCAR Cup Series race held on February 9, 2020 at Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Florida. Contested over 88 laps — extended from 75 laps due to an overtime finish, it was the first exhibition race of the 2020 NASCAR Cup Series season. The race was won by Erik Jones, one of only six cars still running after a series of crashes late in the race, gaining the race the nickname of "Busch Crash" for that reason.[8]

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.
