After emerging from the carnage of the Daytona 500, NASCAR travels to Atlanta Motor Speedway for the first of two Cup Series races this season at the Hampton, Georgia, track.

Drivers and teams will now get a chance to reset following the 2024 season opener, though the racing at Atlanta could be somewhat similar to what occurred at Daytona. Pack racing has come to dominate the oval, which was reconfigured for the 2022 season and now features some of the steepest banks in the series.

William Byron, who won Monday’s Daytona 500, should be feeling quite confident heading into Atlanta. Byron also won the July race at the track last year and the spring race at Atlanta in 2022.

Who will celebrate Sunday in victory lane? Here is all the information you need to get ready for the Ambetter Health 400 at Atlanta Motor Speedway:

Brad Keselowski (6) leads Alex Bowman (48), Tyler Reddick (45) and Joey Logano (22) into Turn 1 at Atlanta Motor Speedway during the 2023 Ambetter Health 400.
