As the NASCAR Youth Series presented by COOKOUT gears up for Auto Club Speedway, we look back at the same race exactly 1 year ago at Auto Club Speedway. Winners from the race got to go to pre race ceremonies for the NASCAR Cup Series, as well as meet tons of NASCAR drivers!
Drivers also got the chance to meet Christopher Bell, the Grand Marshall for the race. Who will be the Grand Marshall for the race in 2023 you ask? Stay tuned!
Registration for the first stop on the NASCAR Youth Series tour has opened, and drivers from 17 DIFFERENT STATES have already checked in for the challenge!
