The 2024 NASCAR season kickoff is taking place at the iconic Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, site of the 1932 Olympics. Harkening back to the sport’s roots, a special quarter-mile oval track has been constructed inside the stadium. The length of the track ensures constant action during the 150-lap race. At the inaugural Coliseum event in 2023, Martin Truex Jr. held off Austin Dillon and Kyle Busch to take the win. Twenty-two cars finished on the lead lap.
