Fingers crossed that they get thru the weather coming into the lower middle US tomorrow.

Someone will get a weather rant out of this, something about how they shouldn't race on the west coast in February because of the possible issues for the haulers. :rolleyes:

Looks like if they come down to I-10 well to the east, they may be able to skirt around the worst of it.

Replying to @bobpockrass
Why is Ty Dillon in the Clash? This race should be for pole winners from the previous year only! IMO of course

Bob Pockrass @bobpockrass
With this event now in Los Angeles, many teams felt they could get some solid sponsorship for it so NASCAR opted for up to 40 cars to enter (chartered teams are obligated to enter the Clash if eligible).

ah okay. I thought I had missed that nugget of news, I missed too where it was a slam dunk the Trucks were coming back but I'll do my research on that I dont wanna hijack the pre race. Back to discussing this race

I wanted more short tracks, I got more short tracks. Can't bitch about that. 🤷‍♂️

If other fans want to complain about the Los Angeles Coliseum because they just want 36 races a year at North Wilkesboro, that's on them.
 
I’ve felt this way since it was announced. If a success, opens the door to stadium races. Can’t wait for the Tecate 500 from Estadio Azteca in Mexico City!

Seriously if I didn't know that was a football field I'd think it was one bad ass short track

It looked pretty good watching the iRace. They could run 3 wide down the short straights. Of course when one of them got sideways it was pile up carnage. Little passing after the good ones got to the front, lots of single file after that. I thought it was a pretty decent track, more lines than Bowman Grey
 
Ben Kennedey explains why they are doing this race at the Coliseum and some of the other things they may do in the furure.

The spectacle of NASCAR potentially racing at venues like this is going to be a sight to behold. Just imagine a field of race cars barreling through these places on a Spring or Mid Summer Saturday Night, it’s going to be pretty awesome.

For some reason I can't get this video to play. Does Kennedy say what the criteria are for declaring this worth trying again? Is the 'quality' of racing a consideration, or is it strictly money?

It's a tool to be able to go into large markets that they don't or can't cover well. L.A. has more fans in the L.A. market area than anywhere else.... He mentioned the New York area, Maybe Canada and or Mexico. It's a business that exists to make a profit. :dunce:
