“The L.A. Coliseum brings me back to my Legends car days at the Summer Shootout. It’s going to be hard to pass if you’re not being aggressive. The tight corners and narrow straightaways are going to make for a good show for the fans!” Josh Williams on Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum

I’m looking forward to kicking off the year with this No. 31 Cirkul team in LA.” Daniel Hemric on Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum
