What was an unprecedented situation at the L.A. Clash is beginning to become standard operating procedure. The decision has been made to move up the ARCA season-opener at Daytona due to expected rain showers on Saturday.
The race, originally scheduled to take place at 1:30 p.m. ET on Saturday, will now take place following the Truck Series race on Friday evening. The expected start time will be around 10:30 p.m. ET.
The 200-mile, 80-lap race will be broadcasted live on Fox Sports 2 until the conclusion of college basketball, and then shift to Fox Sports 1. Greg van Alst is the defending winner.
