NASCAR heads to Atlanta Motor Speedway for a full weekend of racing with all three series set to compete. Please check below for the complete schedule of events.
HAMPTON, Ga. -- Chase Elliott won the pole for the Daytona 500, won his qualifying race, led 39 laps and was in the lead in the closing laps of the Daytona 500. Unfortunately, destiny was not in his favor.
Under clear blue Georgia skies, Jimmie Johnson gambled on his fuel to put himself in position to win the race. On the final restart, he got the best restart and scored the victory in the Folds of Honor QuikTrip 500 at Atlanta Motor Speedway. It tied him with the late Dale Earnhardt for seventh on NASCAR's all-time wins list.
While the Folds of Honor QuikTrip 500 race at Atlanta Motor Speedway may have been the first test of the new low downforce rules package, the biggest surprise for many of the NASCAR drivers who competed may just have been the ‘big one’ that occurred on the very last lap.
HAMPTON, Ga.-- A dominant car and dominant performance by Kevin Harvick wasn't enough to secure the victory in Atlanta.
Despite leading 131 of the 330...
Despite leading 47 laps and having a strong car, the driver of the No. 20 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota was black-flagged by NASCAR for "improper fueling." During his stop, the gas man engaged the fuel can with the fuel intake of the car and left a tool on the back of the car.
Denny Hamlin topped the chart in the final session of Sprint Cup Series practice. The driver of the No. 11 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota posted a time of 29.419 and a speed of 188.450 mph.
The driver of the No. 24 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet had high hopes for the Daytona 500 after scoring the pole. Those were quickly dashed on lap 20 after his car spun off the exit of turn 4 and came to a halt in the infield grass.
