Atlanta time again – take two! The last time we went down to race at Atlanta, the whole world shut down. A worldwide pandemic. NASCAR has done an awesome job to get us back to the track.

Joe Gibbs Racing driver Harrison Burton was made available to media via videoconference prior to the EchoPark 250 this Saturday:

Chase Briscoe, driver of the No. 98 HighPoint.com Ford Mustang in the NASCAR XFINITY Series, currently leads the point standings and has two wins this season. He was a guest earlier today as part of a media availability session and answered questions about Saturday’s scheduled event at Atlanta Motor Speedway.

I guess I had so much fun, or maybe the team had enough fun at Bristol, that they brought me back for Atlanta. Once again, no practice and probably starting near the back.

We are headed to Atlanta Motor Speedway. This track has an old, rough surface – something that we really don’t see when we go to mile-and-a-halves, so it’s different.

Michael Annett will seek a third top-10 finish of the season on 1.5-mile ovals this weekend at Atlanta. He was seventh at both Las Vegas and Charlotte.

Brandon Jones (third) and Harrison Burton (fourth) led Toyota with top-five finishes at the NASCAR Xfinity Series event at Bristol Motor Speedway on Monday evening.

Austin Cindric and the No. 22 ODYSSEY Ford Mustang team finished the Cheddar’s 300 at Bristol Motor Speedway in the 36th position after an early crash caused the team to retire the event early. Due to the finish, the Mooresville, N.C. native drops from second to sixth-place in the NASCAR Xfinity Series driver standings, 56 markers behind leader Chase Briscoe.

CHASE BRISCOE, No. 98 -- HighPoint.com Ford Mustang -- YOU GET TO RUN FOR $100,000 NEXT WEEK AT ATLANTA. “I’m super-excited to go run for an extra 100-grand. Thanks to XFINITY. We were just a fifth to sixth-place car it seemed like most of the night and just was really tight."
