The three national NASCAR series are back in action this weekend with a trip to Atlanta Motor Speedway. They will compete on Saturday and Sunday while taking on another superspeedway-style track.
Last season's Cup race delivered an exhilarating finish as Daniel Suarez beat Ryan Blaney and Kyle Busch at the line. This was one of NASCAR's closest finishes in history. Austin Hill won the Xfinity race, setting up a season sweep, while Busch won the Truck race.
All of these drivers will be back in the lineup to defend their respective wins at the high-speed Georgia track. This includes Busch, who makes his first of five Truck starts this weekend for Spire Motorsports.
