Sports at a glance: NASCAR’s Clash moved to Wednesday

WINSTON, SALEM, N.C. — A bomb cyclone over North Carolina forced NASCAR to push its preseason exhibition to Wednesday night because the snow-covered roads are too dangerous for teams and fans to get to historic Bowman-Gray Stadium.

The Clash had been scheduled to run Sunday night and has now been postponed twice, with a schedule adjustment, because of the intense snowfall that blanketed the area. NASCAR first condensed the race into a one-day, Sunday-only show, then pushed the race to Monday.

NASCAR said Sunday it was moving it to Wednesday evening “due to the impacts of historic winter weather across the North Carolina region.”

Elsewhere in sports:

– Eugenio Suárez and the Cincinnati Reds agreed on a $15 million, one-year contract, two people familiar with the negotiations tell The Associated Press.

– The Chicago White Sox acquired right-hander Jordan Hicks from the Boston Red Sox. The deal, announced Sunday, includes cash and pitching prospect David Sandlin, along with two players to be named later. Boston receives right-handed prospect Gage Ziehl and another player.

Starting at $2.99/week.
