For the third consecutive year, the NASCAR Cup Series will race under the lights at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum in Saturday’s 150-lap Busch Light Clash (8 p.m. ET, FS1, MRN Radio, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio).
The race was moved to Saturday night due to torrential rain and possible flooding forecasted to hit the “City of Angels” on Sunday. The Mexico Series race is scheduled to follow the Busch Light Clash at 10:30 p.m. ET.
The 2024 rendition on the 0.25-mile asphalt oval will be slightly different than 2023’s event. For starters, spots for the main event will be more exclusive, with a 23-driver grid compared to a 27-strong lineup last season.

However, more spice comes in how the 23-driver lineup is cemented: The fastest 22 times in final practice (5:35 p.m. ET) will make the main event due to the heat races and Last Chance Qualifier (LCQ) being canceled.
The 23rd and final position in the grid is reserved for the driver who finished highest in the 2023 season points standings and did not transfer on speed in practice.
Follow along for live updates as we’ll post the lineup for the race following practice from the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum at the bottom of the page updated in real time.
