For decades, superspeedway racing has been characterized by Daytona and Talladega: packs of cars inches apart, 200 mph drafting, thrilling finishes and of course, “the big one”.
Atlanta’s recent re-configuration has resulted in a race that has never been seen before. NASCAR Veteran Kevin Harvick described the new racetrack as, “racing on steroids that creates a photo finish at every race”.
Harvick continued, “Marcus Smith transformed Atlanta Motor Speedway into what is likely the most anticipated race of the schedule”.
