By Luis Torres, Staff Writer NASCAR’s 75th Anniversary kicked off with some fireworks as the Cup Series returned to the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum last Sunday. From music entertainment to a plethora of bumper-to-bumper madness, fans who attended the event saw one memorable show. Once the madness ended, it was Martin Truex, Jr. who left Southern California victorious. I was able to shoot photos of the event and proud to share my works.
