2023 Busch Clash to be Run Under the Lights

The season-opening Busch Light Clash at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum will have a later start time next year, providing the opportunity to end the exhibition event under the stadium’s lights.

The main event is scheduled to start Sunday, Feb. 5 at 5 p.m. PT (8 p.m. ET), which is a half-hour before the typical sunset time for that time of year in Los Angeles. The move was announced on FOX Sports’ Race Hub news program on Friday night, exactly 100 days until the Clash is set to take center stage.
