The NASCAR Cup Series 2024 season begins unofficially this weekend with the Busch Light Clash at The LA Coliseum, headlined by the 150-lap main event on Saturday due to a schedule change.

Martin Truex Jr. won the second edition of the event last year at the Coliseum, the quick quarter-mile track in Southern California.

Some new driver and team combinations will be featured for the first time this weekend, headlined by Josh Berry in the No. 4 Stewart-Haas Racing Ford replacing the retired Kevin Harvick. Berry could be a darkhorse on Sunday given his short-track credentials, but so much will be dependent on starting position and track position.
