NASCAR goes Hollywood with the 45th running of Busch Light Clash. Here is everything you need to know about the exhibition race.
What is the format of the Busch Light Clash?
The main event will feature 27 drivers — bumped up from 23 in last year’s inaugural running in L.A. — in a 150-lap race. But not every car entered will qualify. In order to qualify for the main event, drivers will compete in one of four heat races. The top five finishers in each heat will automatically advance to the main event, setting the top 20 starting positions.
Drivers who finish their heat races outside the top five will be relegated to Last Chance Qualifiers — two 50-lap dashes — which will help determine the rest of the field. The top three drivers in each LCQ will advance and compete in the Clash. The 27th and final spot in the field is reserved for the driver who finished the highest in the 2022 season points standings and who did not already earn a starting position in the Clash.1.
