Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum hosts NASCAR's Clash for 2nd consecutive year
For the second consecutive year Los Angeles will host NASCAR's season opening event. Celebrating its 75th year, NASCAR announced that the 2023 Clash at the Coliseum is ready to go. Construction is complete, the painting is finished and the NASCAR Cup Series teams are parked outside the iconic Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. Now it's time for the stars of the NASCAR Cup Series to compete. Action Saturday begins at 3 p.m. with NASCAR Cup Series practice, followed by Busch Light Pole Award qualifying at 5:30 p.m. Gates open for fans at Noon, which includes access to an expanded fan fest!
On Sunday, gates open at 10 a.m. and heat races begin at 2 p.m., followed by a performance by Cypress Hill. And then shortly after 5 p.m., Rob Lowe will give the command to start engines and Heisman Trophy winner Caleb Williams will wave the green flag for the main event. Wiz Khalifa will perform during the mid-race break, and DJ trio Cheat Codes will keep the party going during the caution breaks.
