NASCAR fans finally got to see stock-car racing action for the first time inside the LA Coliseum. Regardless of what anyone says, it is a monumental moment for the sport just by looking at the venue.

On top of that, something that could also become a norm depending on the popularity or success of the Clash, is entertainment and half-time shows during races.

Two of the biggest icons in not only the American but global music scene, Ice Cube, and Pitbull, will bring their presence and star power to the iconic venue during what would most probably be, an iconic race.

And to add more to the anticipation and growing excitement of the Clash, Ice Cube posted an exciting behind-the-scenes video of a ‘sound-check’ inside the LA Coliseum.

Who is on the pole for NASCAR Clash at the Coliseum?

After a Saturday that pleased and displeased many in equal measure, it was Joe Gibbs Racing’s Kyle Busch who clinched the pole for the first heat race on Sunday.

Speaking after the qualifying, Busch said, “I don’t know, you know, it’s pretty cool. It’s just different with the opportunity to do something like this … we’re having a great time.”

“I’m looking forward to seeing what this place will look like (Sunday) and have the opportunity to race this No. 18 Toyota and keep it up front. We’re not in (the main event) yet—we still have to go through that heat race,” he added.

It remains to be seen how far the spring of the Coliseum thrusts the sport into the future.

It’s a model that has worked well in sports like NFL and could potentially work in NASCAR too. Especially considering the weight of the names involved in the entertainment department.
