The NASCAR Cup Series (NCS) heads to EchoPark Speedway in Hampton, Georgia, for the Autotrader 400 on Sunday, 22 at 3 p.m. ET on FOX.
Last season, Ryan Blaney captured the pole with a lap of 179.371 mph (30.908 secs), and Christopher Bell found himself at the right place at the right time to win the Ambetter Health 400 on Sunday, February 23, 2025. Carson Hocevar bumped Bell’s No. 20 DeWalt Toyota Camry XSE entry ahead of Kyle Larson entering Turn 3. Just as Hocevar was trying to split himself between Bell and Larson, the caution flew, and the event concluded as a multi-car wreck that involved Josh Berry, Justin Haley, and Ryan Preece on the backstretch.
Following a review of the footage for when the caution was displayed, Bell was shown to have been the leader over Hocevar and Larson when the caution lights were displayed.
