I gotta say, the Busch Light Clash has been pretty damn cool (aside from the number of commercials).
I mean, my picks have been shit… but what else is new?
Racing at incredibly tiny quarter mile race track they built inside the Los Angeles Coliseum, we have the debut of the Next Gen cars, we have a lot of contact, and we have… Pitbull and Ice Cube performing?
Pitbull, as an owner of Trackhouse Racing, the team fielding the No. 1 Chevrolet Camaro for Ross Chastain and the No. 99 Chevrolet Camaro for Daniel Suarez, kicked things off with the pre-race show, and then Los Angeles native Ice Cube was brought in for the halftime show.
A halftime show in NASCAR? Yeah, a halftime show…
While I’ll admit a halftime show in the middle of a NASCAR race is something that I don’t want to continue (why interrupt the race like that?), my 33-year old ass watching Ice Cube out there was pretty cool.
But overall, the reactions were pretty good:
please dont stop zooming in on nascar fans dancing to Ice Cube. have not laughed this hard in a long time.

Ice Cube: I want to perform a halftime show at the LA Coliseum.
Ice Cube’s agent: You like cars, right?

good idea, bad production. NASCAR & FOX need to involve the crowd more instead of Ice Cube just standing there, no pyro, it’s awkward.

I can't believe Ice Cube is actually performing at a NASCAR race lmao. Awesome.

Ice Cube rapping Check Yo Self at a #NASCAR event at the Coliseum in LA isn’t something I had on my 2022 bingo card.

I dig Ice Cube but this is incredibly awkward. Fox needs to turn mics on by the fans so we can hear them call back to Ice 😂

No backup dancers or fanfare, weird venue and circumstance, Ice Cube still brings it pretty good for 52. #NASCAR

I'm not sorry to whoever doesn't like this but you can't tell me that NASCAR Halftime with Ice Cube performing inside the Los Angeles Memorial Colosseum isn't dope af
So here for this. #BuschLightClash
