NASCAR Busch Light Clash – Heat Race Results

There are 27 spots available for the 150-lap showdown at the quarter-mile track built inside the venerable Los Angeles Coliseum, up from 23 in last year’s inaugural event. Thirty-six drivers are on the entry list, which means nine won’t make the big show.

Drivers will clinch their spot in The Clash via a series of heat races and last-chance qualifying races on Sunday before the green flag for the main event.

In short: The top five finishers from each of the four heat races Sunday advance into the Busch Light Clash. Those who don’t qualify that way will compete later (6:10 p.m. ET, FOX) Sunday in two last-chance qualifiers. The top three finishers in each LCQ race will also advance for a total of 26 spots (20 from heat races, six from last-chance qualifying races). The final spot is reserved for the driver who finished highest in 2022 points who has not yet qualified.
