Nascar has confirmed it will hold its third preseason Clash event at the LA Coliseum in 2024.
Confirmed:
- Preseason event to be held on 4th February
- Nascar Mexico Series race added to the bill for 2024, preceding the main event
Context:
The event was held away from its traditional venue – the Daytona International Speedway – for the first time in 2022. This will be the third time the Daytona 500 prelude has been staged in California on the purpose-built 0.25-mile track at the LA Coliseum.
Comment:
Ben Kennedy, senior vice president, racing development and strategy at Nascar, said: “This is a tremendous win for our fans and our sport. Not only will the fans see the stars of the Nascar Cup Series in action, they will also bear witness to the talent and skill that is found within the Nascar Mexico Series. I can’t think of a better way to begin our 2024 season.”
Coming next:
While the full 2024 Nascar Cup Series schedule is yet to be announced, we already know the Daytona 500 gets the season underway on 18th February before the Phoenix Raceway hosts the season finale on 3rd November.
