BUSCH LIGHT CLASH RACE FORMAT
This event is technically part of the NASCAR preseason, and is considered an exhibition, so a few things are different than usual. First, there will be no points awarded to any drivers. And second, the qualifying procedure follows a different format.
After practice rounds on Saturday, there are four 25-lap heat races with no more than 10 drivers per heat. The top five drivers from each heat are automatically entered into Sunday’s entry list, while the remaining drivers move on to the Sunday’s 75-lap “Last Chance Qualifier (LCQ).”
The top two drivers from that round will join the main event at the 21st and 22nd spots. The 23rd spot is guaranteed to go to 2023’s NASCAR Cup Series Champion, Ryan Blaney.
