Kenny Wallace Says NASCAR Should Never Do The Busch Clash At The L.A. Coliseum Ever Again

Kenny Wallace, an ex-driver in the NASCAR Cup Series, recently declared that he is now an analyst and believes NASCAR should be banned from returning to L.A. Coliseum to host the Busch Clash.

Wallace uploaded his thoughts on race in a recent video. He said he enjoyed first half but that the second half was tiring.

“I thought last year’s race was good. This year’s race, it was ridiculous, right? I’m like, ‘Come on, can you go five, six laps.’ Now, at the very end they finally did a good job. Martin Truex definitely should have won the race. He was the fastest car,” Wallace prefaced.

He continued to express his opinion that Kyle Busch was the best finisher of the race. “The show, best in class, no doubt, “Rowdy” Busch and Kyle Busch started at the back. They made it all the way to first. He did a good job.”

“Thank God for Kyle. He was the show,” He concluded.

Wallace declared then, “I don’t think they should ever do this again. But here’s the situation. The situation is this. What kind of contract does NASCAR have with the L.A. Coliseum. That is a business of its own. How many years did they sign a contract?”

He continued, “We know you and we know a lot of people really don’t want to keep it going. It’s kind of funny to see it fall. What kind of race will we be able to win it?

Wallace continued to speculate. “I think we’re gonna go one more year. What kind of contract did Ben Kennedy sign? Was it a two-year? Was is it a three-year? We don’t know.”

He rhetorically then asked, “So will the race come back next year? I would usually know things like this: was it a two or three year contract. I don’t think it should come back. It’s been tried and tested. I wouldn’t do it again, but I wouldn’t doubt they come back later and go, ‘Hey we’re going to do it again.’”

“And they’re not going to tell you the reason they’re going to do it again is because they have a three-year contract,” He stated. “That’s usually the way it deals. I think that deal could be over. Who knows if we’ll do it again.”

Wallace then revealed one of the main reasons aside from the poor product as to why they won’t do it again, “I think the downfall of the Coliseum race will be the millions of dollars it takes just to build the racetrack. I think Ben — I heard Ben mention it throughout the year: cost a lot of money.”

Wallace concluded, “You can’t fault NASCAR. They tried it. They tested it. They’re trying for you.”

Wallace isn’t the only one to note the poor product of the race. Kyle Busch, who finished the race in third and did indeed drive from the rear of the field to the front of the field after he was dumped by last year’s champion Joey Logano, described the race as a “disaster.”

Busch, in an interview after the race, stated that “Last year’s show, I felt like was relatively clean and good racing. Some bumping, some banging, but we could run long stretches of green flag action where today was — I would call it a disaster.”

He explained, “The disrespect from everybody of just driving through each other and not letting everything kind of work its way out. I mean it’s a quarter mile. It’s tight quarters racing. Actually, this is probably how it should have gone last year. So we got spoiled with a good show the first year. So maybe this is just normal.”
