This weekend, we head to Atlanta Motor Speedway for the Focused Health 250. The race is Saturday at 7:00pm ET on The CW. There is no practice this week. In case you didn’t know, Atlanta Motor Speedway was changed after the final 2021 race. It went from a track with a lot of tire wear and medium banking to a new surface with a lot of banking. It’s an intermediate track that races like Daytona and Talladega. The biggest difference is that those tracks are 2.5 miles with a lot more room, while Atlanta is a 1.5-mile track with 2 to 3 lanes to run. The wrecks happen fast, but they don’t seem to take out as many cars as Daytona and Talladega. We will see a lot more single-file racing at Atlanta, and the middle lane is the dominant lane. The NOAPS runs have not been as strong as the Cup runs in the draft here. As the track continues to age, tire wear will play a larger factor in these races.
