Obviously, the biggest main character of this story is NASCAR as a sanctioning body. By moving the race up, fans get free access to the Clash as well as the Machine Gun Kelly half-time performance. This is great exposure for our sport and NASCAR deserves a lot of props for being able to pull this off!
Also, NASCAR on FOX is a big character today as they welcome, officially, their new analyst, former NASCAR driver, Kevin Harvick!
Part-time Truck Series driver and FOX analyst, Parker Kligerman applauds NASCAR’s decision to move the race up and gives them a huge round of applause!

Denny Hamlin says, “NASCAR with the WIN!”
RFK wasn’t sleeping when it came to letting their fans know of the schedule change.
Kaulig Racing’s admins tweeted this rather humorous photo of a swimming pool in the middle of the infield. If the forecast for tomorrow is correct, it’s not far from the truth!
With the Clash being moved to Saturday night, which was free to any fan who wanted to come to watch the Heat races, Diego Alvarado asks if this is the first ever free NASCAR race. It certainly is of the modern era. We know that much!
Michael Murcz pokes fun at NASCAR’s previous decision to not allow fans at the track on Saturday. Opening the gates was a big win for the fans and NASCAR as a sanctioning body.

JGRFan11181920 answered the question. Gates 1 and 28 are for free-admission fans!
One_Mirror_3228 speculates that this may kill the Clash being in L. A. Netwealth5 then points out that this, most likely, was going to be the last year, anyway. They then go on to speculate that the Clash will be moved in 2025 to Mexico City.
Then Campman92 begged the biggest question: Is Kyle Busch even eligible to race in Mexico!???
