New Season: Exciting Highlights Just Weeks Away
The 2024 NASCAR Cup Season is set to kick off with a bang on February 7-8 at the iconic LA Coliseum, where the tight turns of the man-made circuit promise high-octane action right from the start. This compact layout, a departure from the traditional oval tracks, is a nod to the sport’s innovation, providing fans with a unique and thrilling spectacle.
The LA Coliseum, with its storied history as a venue for various sports and entertainment events, is ready with a forth instalment of the NASCAR Cup Series. This fusion of tradition and modernity adds an extra layer of excitement, as drivers tackle the challenges of this unconventional track.
Moving forward, the anticipation builds as the 2024 NASCAR Daytona 500 looms on the horizon.

This upcoming race promises to add another chapter to the Speedway’s legacy of unforgettable moments.
A major shakeup in the 2024 season comes with the addition of Legacy Motor Club to the Toyota Racing roster. Co-owned by the legendary Jimmie Johnson, the team is making a strategic switch from Chevrolet to Toyota. This move adds a new dynamic to the competition, with fans eager to see how Legacy Motor Club adapts to their new alliance.
Shane van Gisbergen, a three-time Supercars champion, will undertake a full-time NASCAR journey, bidding farewell to the world of Supercars.
