In response to concerns about inclement weather, the Busch Light Clash at the L.A. Coliseum has been rescheduled for Saturday night, as announced by NASCAR. The event, featuring 23 drivers, will be broadcasted by Fox Sports 1 at 8 p.m. ET (5 p.m. PT).

Citing the threat of unprecedented severe weather on Sunday, NASCAR made the decision to move both the NASCAR Cup Series and NASCAR Mexico Series race events for the Clash to Saturday night. The organization expressed gratitude to the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum and Los Angeles Public Safety for their partnership and support in facilitating the schedule adjustment, prioritizing the safety of fans, competitors, and staff.

To determine the starting positions for the Clash, the first 22 spots will be based on each driver's fastest lap in the final practice, which is scheduled for 5:35 p.m. ET. The remaining spot will be awarded to the driver with the highest points from 2023, who is not already locked into the event. There will be no heat races or last chance qualifier race as originally planned.

Martin Truex Jr. and the No. 19 Joe Gibbs Racing team will defend their title as the winners of the previous edition of The Clash. All 36 charter teams are expected to participate in the event.

NASCAR, understanding that weather conditions may worsen throughout the day, urges fans to prioritize their safety when making decisions about attending the event. The organization also expresses appreciation to fans, partners, and everyone involved in this unprecedented event.

With these changes in place, NASCAR enthusiasts eagerly anticipate the Busch Light Clash at the L.A. Coliseum on Saturday night, ready to witness an exciting and intense competition among the top drivers in the field.
