Ky. Busch, Reddick, Haley and Logano will start on pole for the 4 heats.

Still not sure how exciting it will be when it comes race time, but watching them during practice and qualifying has been interesting. I do think one thing that could hurt it is the same thing that hurts the All-Star race, the lack of incentive to really go for it.

It’s race day! 😁

I think this race is more of a wild card than Daytona is as a lot of drivers probably don't race much on quarter miles these days (maybe the dirt drivers will be better bets). For bonus points, there should be football thrown around though.

Well, first heat race was decent, there wasn’t any action up front but the battle for the final transfer spot was pretty good.

 

[yellosnake]

Wow !!!! This is just plain awful and you got the play by play trying to make this exciting. Track looks like the Tyco slot car track I had as a kid

 

[Blitz24]

Final Heat was most competitive (and that was for guys out of the transfer).

First wreck is Almirola off of the fender of Todd Gilliland.

This "Clash the Coliseum" deal looks pretty cool. Football stadiums converted to race tracks is nothing new. I've seen a bunch of K&N Series races at some football stadiums. It is just interesting seeing these top-level stock cars in this environment.

Complain about California’s political landscape and Bubba Wallace too!

So far the LCQ's are much better than the heat races.

I'm not watching as I have no idea how to, but to me it looked like passing would be very hard. Not sure how it's actually going.

It’s on OTA Fox.

It’s on OTA Fox.

I don't have cable.

 

[Northstar]

I don't have cable.

OTA means over the air. If you have a TV you have it.

 

[Blitz24]

I wonder if anyone will race the 42 rough. Keselowski, Kurt Busch, Bowman and Cindric all going home.

If they do it won't be tonight, he jumped the final restart.

I THOUGHT he might have done so. At least this means the race will be somewhat MORE civil.

 

[Dotini]

Even before the main event, it seems a great success for NASCAR. I like these new cars - better looking and more durable fenders.

 

[yellosnake]

At least Pitbull was entertaining. Another reason to cheer for Suarez in the #99.

 

[Dylan]

All this beating and banging and not a single tire rub. You love to see it.

 

[Dotini]

Suddenly Allmendinger is in the top 10.

 

[Dennisch]

Last man standing format introduced today.

Seeing Cube performing at a Nascar event? Unexpected, but welcome thing to witness.

This is not your dad's NASCAR.

I gotta say it was a good day.

 

[Dylan]

This is fun.

 

[LumpiestFish]

Ah man that would’ve much better without the awkward crowd shots…

Can not get over how good the Coliseum looks though, one of the best looking stadiums in the world, solid size crowd ton. Should have ran the final at night though.

 

[Adamgp]

For all the hype about this race, there seems to be a lot of people dressed as empty seats.

 

[Blitz24]

That looked ugly from Larson.

 

[Dylan]

What an out of character move by Larson.

 

[Blood Eagle]

Trash move by the 5. That’s what happens when you are “a winner”.
