Bowman Gray Snow Cleanup Underway as Clash Prep Faces Cold Weather

Winter Storm Fern left Bowman Gray Stadium buried in snow just days before NASCAR’s Cook Out Clash, with temperatures near freezing. The track and garages have been plowed and are drying, but the infield remains snow-covered and more flurries could force weekend schedule tweaks. NASCAR executives, including Ben Kennedy, say cleanup is ongoing and any changes will be communicated as weather evolves, marking the Clash’s second year at Bowman Gray.

Robot Snow Blower Clears Driveway While Owner Watches from Inside

Tech reviewer Tom Moloughney tests Yarbo’s 230-pound autonomous snow blower during Winter Storm Fern, watching it clear a 6,000 sq ft New Jersey driveway from indoors as it autonomously moves between a charging dock and the driveway, throwing snow up to 40 feet and operating in -13°F. The $4,999 device can clear up to 12 feet of snow, recharges in about 90 minutes, and continues until the job is done, though it has GPS connectivity hiccups and ice issues in prior storms.

NJ Man Sips Coffee as $5K Robot Snowblower Clears a 6,000-Sq-Ft Driveway During Storm Fern

During Winter Storm Fern, a northern New Jersey homeowner used a $5,000 Yarbo autonomous snow blower to clear his roughly 6,000-square-foot driveway, posting videos of the robot working while he stayed indoors with a coffee. The machine recharges at about 80% after roughly 1.25 hours and then resumes clearing, though it faced icy patches and a broken shear pin during the storm.
