Fox Sports will air an all-new documentary on Monday called "The Madhouse," which details the history of stock-car racing at Bowman Gray Stadium in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.

The documentary signals the beginning of "Race Week" in the Carolinas for NASCAR's first event of the 2025 season at its longest-running weekly series track.

NASCAR brings its Cookout Clash exhibition race to to the quarter-mile track on Sunday, marking the first Cup Series event on the famed circuit since 1971, which first saw racing in 1949.
