USC Racing student design team compete at the NASCAR Busch Light Clash at the Coliseum
Yesterday’s Busch Light Clash at the Coliseum marked the launch of the NASCAR spring season in Southern California – and this year, NASCAR added some extra spice to the mix.
Saturday Feb. 4, USC Racing trialed their student-designed car alongside UCLA’s Bruin Formula Racing. Once the track was warmed up by the two student teams, NASCAR professionals arrived on the scene to practice and qualify in advance of the Busch Light Clash the following day, setting in motion a weekend-long, fuel-infused spectacle.
“These cars are designed by some of the brightest young minds in engineering and racing, and these students are proof positive that the future of our sport is in great hands,” said Ben Kennedy, NASCAR’s senior vice president for racing development and strategy.
