They’re ALREADY Pissed Off! Clash at the Coliseum Review

NASCAR held the season-opening Busch Light Clash at the LA Coliseum one day earlier than originally scheduled, and there was a LOT to unpack. Eric Estepp breaks down the unusual scheduling and the race itself in the most recent Out of the Groove.

• NASCAR decided to move the Clash up by one day, from Sunday to Saturday. Eric believes that this was “Likely NASCAR’s only decision” given the difficult situation.
• This race was a battle between youth and experience. Ty Gibbs went up against drivers like Joey Logano and Denny Hamlin. Gibbs and Logano were not happy with each other afterward.
• Eric puts the race on the “Groovy Gauge”. As far as the race itself went, Eric was a fan.
• Eric breaks down the Fox broadcast. He liked the commentary, but, he was not a fan of the camera directing.

The Clash certainly left some drivers with bent sheet metal and hurt feelings, and even the scheduling was highly controversial. Now, the eyes of the NASCAR world turn towards Daytona, the biggest race of the year. Be sure to follow Eric Estepp as the 2024 NASCAR Regular Season creeps ever so close.
