It’s a Saturday night brawl under the lights at Atlanta. The NASCAR in-season challenge kicks off with 32 drivers in 16 chaotic head-to-head matchups — and it might just be the wildest race of the year. Drafting packs, desperate playoff pushes, and maybe a few grudges from March still lingering. You’ve been warned.
- Carson Hocevar leads the entire field in fast lap percentage on drafting tracks — is he about to shock the bracket?
- Kyle Larson’s quietly put up monster stage results on superspeedways, but can he finally close one out?
- Logano, Cindric, Byron, and Blaney: who’s the top dog at Atlanta now?
- One brutal first-round battle: AJ Allmendinger vs Michael McDowell, and the winner might run the table on the road courses
Also, Ryan Blaney and Kyle Busch are the only drivers with top 10s in every Atlanta race since the reconfiguration, but only one survives this week. And sleeper watch? Tyler Reddick’s stats say he’s got the speed… but his finishes haven’t caught up yet. That could change fast in this format. Who’s your bracket buster? Who gets caught in a wreck and ruins someone else’s run? Let us know below and buckle in for this TNT debut.
