This is the first year the clash is being held somewhere other than Florida since its 1979 inception, according to NASCAR.
The race is scheduled just a week ahead of the Super Bowl, which will be played less than 10 miles away at SoFi Stadium.
The track is expected to cost more than $1 million, according to CBS Los Angeles.
