A Look Back at Last Year’s Atlanta Race

Last year, Daniel Suarez made a dramatic finish at Atlanta, edging out Kyle Busch and Ryan Blaney by a razor-thin 0.003 seconds. This win was crucial for Suarez, as it secured his spot in the playoffs. On the other hand, Busch, who came so close to the win, faced a difficult rest of the season and ultimately missed out on the 2024 playoffs.

This Weekend’s Highlights

The stakes are high for all drivers as they look to improve their standings early in the season. Following William Byron’s thrilling Daytona 500 victory last week, the Cup Series heads to Atlanta with plenty of excitement. Byron repeated his success from the previous year, thanks to a fortunate crash on the final lap that took out other leaders, securing him his second consecutive Daytona 500 win.

Meanwhile, several drivers are grappling with changes and challenges. Chase Briscoe was recently hit with a hefty penalty for using a modified part during the Daytona 500, and Denny Hamlin shared his frustrations about NASCAR’s rules, particularly regarding how luck can impact races like the Daytona 500.
