Daytona Beach, FL — January 14, 2022

NASCAR’s season-opening exhibition race, The Busch Clash, is moving to a new venue in 2022. Traditionally held at Daytona International Speedway, NASCAR is experimenting with a specialty-built track inside a major sports arena at The Los Angeles Coliseum.

On February 6th, 2022, the new NASCAR Next Generation race cars of 36 drivers will run a completely new Clash format that will ultimately pay the winner a huge chunk of cash and bragging rights for the next year.
