The Daytona 500 may be in the rearview mirror, but the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series season has just begun, and the excitement is sure to continue this weekend at Atlanta Motor Speedway.
Last year’s Ambetter Health 400 produced one of the most dramatic finishes in NASCAR history when Daniel Suarez, Ryan Blaney and Kyle Busch raced three-wide to the checkered flag in a photo finish. Suarez ended up prevailing by 0.003 seconds in what is now the fourth-closest finish in NASCAR history.
Sunday’s race seems likely to deliver another thrilling competition on the fast-paced, 1.5-mile oval that races much like a superspeedway.
