With its new Next Gen race car ready to roll, NASCAR is embarking on a new adventure in front of new fans on a brand new race track in the heart of Los Angeles.
The NASCAR Cup Series will open its 2022 season with the Busch Light Clash at the Coliseum, a 150-lap exhibition race that will mark the milestone debut of the Next Gen car (Sunday, Feb. 6 at 6 p.m. ET on FOX, MRN and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio).
