The waiting is over. After so much talk about the Clash at the Coliseum, NASCAR’s Next Gen cars make their debut today on the quarter-mile track in the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.
Today’s action includes practice and qualifying for Sunday’s events.
NASCAR has divided the 36-car field into three groups of 12 for practice. Each group gets three eight-minute sessions. Qualifying is this evening.
The wunderground.com forecast for Saturday calls for sunny conditions at a high of 71 degrees. There is no chance of rain.
