How will this work? NASCAR put race track inside the Coliseum. Can they pull off the wildest race in years? Sneak peek now on ABC7

Yes, that's correct. A temporary track has been built inside the Coliseum, where race cars will rattle around a quarter mile of asphalt carefully laid over the grass field that has hosted two summer Olympics, the USC Trojans and the hometown Rams for four seasons until their new stadium opened in 2020.

Ben Kennedy, NASCAR's senior vice president of strategy and innovation, brainstormed moving The Clash exhibition out of Daytona for the first time and instead stage it as a Hollywood event not all that far from Hollywood. The Busch Light Clash will run Sunday night, heat races will set the field, DJ Skee will play during cautions and Ice Cube will headline a halftime show.

"You want to put on a good race," O'Donnell said."But I would say, already it is a success. The number of celebrities we have showing up, the enthusiasm and promotion we've seen from Fox just for this race, even during NFL broadcasts, it's been unprecedented." Many say the Coliseum shares the characteristics of Martinsville Speedway, a 0.526-mile short track in Virginia won in three of the last five races by Martin Truex Jr. He believes it won't matter if the race ends up something of a joke.

Some fans might want to see the winner cross the finish line in a beat-up race car, its hood up and smoke pouring from the engine - the end result of close-contact racing on the shortest track the drivers have ever raced. But Larson hopes the show"won't be that bad."
