In a Sunday (Feb. 5) night race that consisted of 16 cautions, it was Martin Truex Jr. who prevailed through the chaos to win the second running of the Busch Light Clash at The Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.

The race marked Truex’s first win in the Clash, and he begins 2023 on a good note after going winless last year for the first time since 2014.

The new-look Richard Childress Racing duo of Austin Dillon and Kyle Busch also looked sporty in L.A., as they finished second and third to complete the medal podium.

The Hendrick duo of Alex Bowman and Kyle Larson rounded out the top five, while Tyler Reddick finished sixth in his debut for 23XI Racing. Ryan Preece led the most laps (44) and finished seventh for Stewart-Haas Racing, while Ross Chastain, Denny Hamlin and William Byron completed the top 10.
