NASCAR Rumor: Los Angeles Coliseum’s Stay in NASCAR Set to End With the Clash Moving to Historic Racetrack

The latest buzz centers around The Clash, a highly anticipated event potentially making a move to a historic racetrack, marking a notable change in the NASCAR calendar. These rumors have sparked curiosity and speculation among racing enthusiasts, hinting at new possibilities and changes on the horizon for the NASCAR calendar.

Jordan Bianchi of The Athletic reports that Bowman Gray Stadium is being considered as a potential venue for NASCAR’s Busch Light Clash at the start of 2025. As the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum seems unlikely as a venue, it will be interesting to see whether NASCAR opts for BGS to host the event.

What could be NASCAR’s new potential venue for the Clash?

The potential selection of Bowman Gray Stadium as the venue for the 2025 Clash, as reported by sources, marks a significant shift in NASCAR’s venue choices. Known for its rich history and unique atmosphere, Bowman Gray Stadium holds a special place in motorsports history, making it an interesting choice for such a highly anticipated event.

If confirmed, this decision would bring the Clash back to its roots, aligning with NASCAR’s efforts to showcase the sport’s heritage and engage with passionate fans. In a recent podcast interview, Jordan Bianchi confirmed that the Clash will not return to the L.A. Coliseum after a full three-year stint.

“Let’s see, clash. A lot of talk about what’s going to happen with the clash.  It’s not going back to the L.A. Coliseum. That three-year experiment is over. Sources indicate for the athletic, Bowman Gray Stadium is the likely site of the 2025 clash.” Bianchi stated.

As anticipation builds around the potential Clash venue, fans, and NASCAR insiders are eagerly waiting for official confirmation and looking forward to witnessing some top-tier racing action at one of the motorsports’ most iconic and beloved locations.

Jeff Gluck on NASCAR Clash venue concerns

While the rumors keep circulating around the Clash, fans have expressed their disappointment at the prospect of moving the Clash to a smaller venue like Bowman Gray Stadium.

In a recent podcast interview, NASCAR journalist Jeff Gluck raised concerns about the potential relocation of The Clash to a smaller venue compared to the Coliseum. “Bowman Gray versus the Coliseum, I don’t know; I mean, I don’t like that it’s not in a big market if you’re going to do that because I think you go back to when the clash started at the L.A. Coliseum and you’re like, wow, they have really discovered something here. They can now go to any big city that NASCAR’s not racing in and create a purpose-built track inside a stadium. Wow, this is unbelievable.” Gluck stated.

Gluck’s critique focuses on the impact of the Clash’s origins at the L.A. Coliseum, where the concept of creating a purpose-built track inside a stadium captured widespread attention.
