The 2023 NASCAR Cup Series season is all set to kick off this weekend with the Busch Light Clash at the Coliseum, which will be held at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. The green flag will drop at 8:00 pm ET on Sunday, February 5, 2023, and the event will be telecast live on FOX and MRN.
Additionally, there will be a qualifying session for the race, which will begin at 8:30 pm ET on Saturday, February 4, 2023, followed by qualifying heat races the next day. The qualifying races can be enjoyed on FS1 and MRN.
Sunday’s race will consist of 36 drivers who will compete for over 150 laps on the 0.25-mile-long asphalt oval track, resulting in a 37.5-mile race.
Team Penske driver and two-time NASCAR Cup Series champion Joey Logano won last year’s inaugural Busch Light Clash at the Coliseum and will look to defend it on Sunday.
NASCAR last month announced that the top-three finishers in the main event will be awarded gold, silver, and bronze medals featuring the Clash at the Coliseum logo on one side and NASCAR 75th Anniversary logo on the other.
