The three-time Daytona 500 champion from Chesterfield, Virginia, led 58 of 151 laps and fended off Kyle Busch during a two-lap shootout to claim his fourth victory at The Clash and first in LA's Memorial Coliseum.
Two Cup Series veterans and former Clash winners, both of whom hold the top-two active starts in the Clash, are set to achieve milestone starts of their own within the exhibition feature at The Coliseum.
Kyle Busch drove the No. 18 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota to the top of the speed chart during qualifying for the Busch Light Clash at the Coliseum Saturday night. His lap time of 13.745 seconds gained him the advantage of starting on the pole for the first heat race Sunday afternoon.
