Joey Logano the Favorite to Win at Atlanta

Here at Atlanta last season, Joey Logano put a whooping on the field en route to a dominating win, leading 140 of the 260 laps while finishing in first- and second-place in the two Stages along the way. Sportsbooks think that Logano can do something similar this weekend, too, as he is the betting favorite […]

Ryan Blaney Can Win At Atlanta This Weekend

Whenever the NASCAR Cup Series stops at a drafting race track, you have to put 2023 Champion, Ryan Blaney, in the conversation of potential winners. That's the case at Atlanta Motor Speedway this weekend. Blaney's No. 12 Ford will roll off the starting grid from 6th-place when the Ambetter Health 400 goes green, and the […]

Chase Elliott a Core DFS Play at Atlanta

Chase Elliott is one of the best DFS picks you can make for this weekend's Ambetter Health 400 at Atlanta Motor Speedway. Elliott's No. 9 Chevrolet wasn't as fast as his Hendrick Motorsports teammates during qualifying on Saturday, and because of that, Chase will have to start this weekend's race from back in 28th-place. That […]

William Byron Looking To Win Again

The 2024 Daytona 500 Champion, William Byron, has already started out the season with a bang by winning The Great American Race, and it wouldn't be surprising if the No. 24 Chevrolet was in victory lane once again this weekend at Atlanta Motor Speedway. Of the four races held on this "new" Atlanta race track, […]

Ross Chastain Has Aggressiveness Needed To Win At Atlanta

Ever since the "new" Atlanta Motor Speedway was unveiled at the start of the 2022 NASCAR Cup Series season, we've learned a couple of things. One, Atlanta is now a drafting racetrack similar to Daytona and Talladega. And two, Atlanta is very narrow compared to Daytona and Talladega, which requires drivers to be very tactical […]

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. Looking To Build On Good Atlanta Runs

The NASCAR Cup Series is at Atlanta Motor Speedway this weekend, which means drivers like Ricky Stenhouse Jr. are discussed as contender a little bit more than normal. The "new" Atlanta track (which debuted in 2022) is now a drafting race track similar to Daytona and Talladega, the two tracks where Stenhouse has collected his […]

Bubba Wallace Has Upside at Atlanta Despite Poor Record

Bubba Wallace's record at the "new" Atlanta Motor Speedway isn't great. In the four races ran here since the repavement and reconfigurement, Bubba has an average finish of 19.8 and a middle-of-the-pack average running position (19.3). However, nobody can doubt Bubba Wallace's skill when it comes to drafting race tracks, so eventually he's going to […]

Josh Berry Qualifies 14th at Atlanta

Josh Berry should have a strong No. 4 Ford underneath him at Atlanta Motor Speedway this weekend, but will he be able to capitalize on the situation? He raced the No. 9 Chevrolet for Hendrick Motorsports here at Atlanta last spring, but finished 18th and had an average running position of just 20.1. Last week […]

Corey Lajoie a Premiere Fantasy Option at Atlanta

It's not very often that we talk about Corey Lajoie being a legitimate contender to win a NASCAR Cup Series race, but when the series visits a drafting track such as Atlanta Motor Speedway, you have to put Lajoie in the conversation. Fresh off a top-five finish at Daytona last weekend (another drafting track), the […]

Josh Williams a Sneaky Sleeper at Atlanta

Josh Williams has only made three NASCAR Cup Series starts ever, but he's still someone to keep an eye on this weekend in the Ambetter Health 400 at Atlanta Motor Speedway. Williams will be driving the No. 16 Chevrolet for Kaulig Racing in this race, which is a car that has shown speed at this […]

Carson Hocevar Has High DFS Upside at Atlanta

A driver that will likely go under the radar of DFS players in the Ambetter Health 400 at Atlanta Motor Speedway this weekend is Carson Hocevar. The No. 77 Chevrolet was very slow in qualifying on Saturday morning, ending up 35th-fastest out of 37 cars. However, that just means that Hocevar has great place differential […]

Justin Haley Has Been One of the Best at Atlanta Since Reconfiguration

One of the best drivers at Atlanta Motor Speedway since the track was repaved and reconfigured before the 2022 season has been (surprisingly) Justin Haley. In the four races here on the "new" track, Haley has finished 11th or better three times, including an eighth-place result in the summer race here last season. Haley's 12th-place […]

Todd Gilliland Has Been Good at Atlanta but Is Not a Good DFS Pick

Keep an eye on Todd Gilliland this weekend in the Ambetter Health 400 at Atlanta Motor Speedway, but not in your DFS lineups. Gilliland currently has a three-race streak of mid-teens finishes at this race track, coming home between 15th and 17th over the last year and a half at Atlanta. This is significantly better […]

Noah Gragson, Ryan Preece Have Illegal Parts Confiscated

Two of the four Stewart-Haas Racing Fords had parts confiscated by NASCAR during inspection at Atlanta Motor Speedway this weekend. The No. 10 Ford driven by Noah Gragson and the No. 41 Ford driven by Ryan Preece each had roof rail deflectors seized by NASCAR for further evaluation.

Byron led just four of the 200 total laps, […]

Noah Gragson Starts Comeback Season With Top-10 At Daytona

Noah Gragson had an awful 2023 season in the NASCAR season but got a new lease on life in NASCAR's top series by securing a ride at Stewart-Haas Racing in the No. 10 Ford. We're just one race into the new season and Gragson is already making the most of it. Despite starting from way […]

AJ Allmendinger Earns Fourth Straight Daytona 500 Top-10 Finish

AJ Allmendinger sure does have a knack for finishing near the front in the Daytona 500. Despite getting an early-race penalty on Monday evening and going two laps down, Allmendinger was able to rebound for a sixth-place finish when the checkered flag flew over the 2024 Great American Race. That makes it four Daytona 500 […]

Alex Bowman Narrowly Misses Out On Daytona 500 Victory

Alex Bowman came close to winning his first Daytona 500 on Monday night, but the No. 48 Chevrolet fell just short. After the leaders took the white flag on The Great American Race, another wreck broke out and caution flew. With it being the last lap, the field and running order was frozen, and, unfortunately […]

Joey Logano Wrecks Out Of Daytona 500 But Leads Most Laps

Joey Logano's No. 22 Ford was one of the best cars in the field for Monday night's season-opening Daytona 500, but his finish won't show that. Logano was caught up in a massive wreck while running near the front. Due to the damage sustained in the wreck, he was unable to complete the race and […]

Ross Chastain's Aggressiveness Could Pay Dividends at Daytona

Ross Chastain is known for his aggressiveness on the race track, and while that can create problems at superspeedway racetracks such as Daytona and Talladega due to their high propensity for big, multi-car wrecks, that is also the kind of driving style that can get a driver to victory lane. Chastain won at Talladega in […]

Kyle Larson Searching for First-Ever Top 5 in Daytona 500

On Monday afternoon, Kyle Larson will be making his 11th Daytona 500 attempt. In the previous ten, the results haven't been that great. Larson has notched zero top-five finishes in The Great American Race (his best result was a seventh-place finish back in 2016) but he does have three finishes outside of the top 30 […]
