NASCAR Cup Series at LA Coliseum: Entry list, TV schedule for The Clash on Sunday

The NASCAR Cup Series season begins unofficially in Los Angeles.

The 2023 season will start with the second edition of The Clash inside the L.A. Memorial Coliseum.

Last year, Joey Logano won The Clash and went on to win the 2022 Cup Series title. It wasn't the most exciting race of the year, but some adjustments could increase the excitement and action inside the home of the USC Trojans football team.

This will be Kyle Busch's first race with Richard Childress Racing after making the move from Joe Gibbs Racing after last season.

Who will get an early first foot forward heading into the Daytona 500 in two weeks? Here's what you need to know about The Clash:
