The LA Memorial Coliseum has provided a spectacular stage for football, concerts, speeches, the Olympics and more.
But something different is roaring into the historic venue this weekend.
NASCAR's Clash at the Coliseum will be on a quarter-mile asphalt oval track built around the stadium's football field. The season-opening Busch Light Clash at The Coliseum exhibition race is scheduled for Sunday at 3 p.m. California time.
Below, photos show how the Coliseum was transformed for the race on a quarter-mile asphalt oval.
