"Last year, The Clash at the Los Angeles Coliseum was totally new for everybody, and no one knew what to expect," Stenhouse Jr. continued. "Coming through the tunnel was one of the coolest things ever for me. We made the race, and it was nice to be able to do that because not everybody made it. We know it will be more intense this year especially since everyone knows what to expect. It's a great venue, and the crowd's electric. We're excited to be back in market for The Clash."
