NASCAR Clash at the L.A. Coliseum heat race and LCQ results
The 23-car field has been set for the 2022 Busch Lite Clash at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.
Six high-action heat races locked in the field for the main event and sent 13 unlucky drivers home.
Kyle Busch, Tyler Reddick, Justin Haley and Joey Logano won each of their heat races from the pole. The last-chance qualifiers were wild with constant contact and several yellows.
Denny Hamlin won the first LCQ while Ty Dillon won the second LCQ, only to be disqualified for jumping the final restart. Harrison Burton has taken Dillon's spot in the feature race.
Former Cup Series champion Kurt Busch has to be the biggest name eliminated, missing the show after crashing out of LCQ No. 2.
Martin Truex Jr. will take the points provisional, claiming the 23rd and final spot in the grid.
