NASCAR’s engineering groups spent a couple of months finishing what appeared to be an inconceivable venture — putting in a brief race monitor contained in the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.

After creating designs and iRacing simulations, development crews started making a race monitor on high of the sphere the place the USC soccer crew usually performs.

Los Angeles Occasions photographers captured each development section that spanned the month of January main as much as the Busch Gentle Conflict on the Coliseum on Sunday.
