Atlanta Motor Speedway is one of the best tracks in NASCAR. It is loved by both the majority of drivers and fans. Something you don't find often. It is also very wide with many grooves, something else that drivers love. Don't run good on the bottom? Run the middle. Not good in the middle? Run the top. Not good on top? Run in between those main three. It is a track with so many grooves, providing drivers with many ways to pass.
But, don't forget the speed. This track is not just a multi-grooved track. It is fast. And I mean very fast. Meaning one of the fastest tracks in the circuit. And that's during the day. At night, when the sun comes down, the speeds will rocket, and the cars will fly.
The Sprint Cup Series usually qualifies at night every time, causing cars to zoom around the track, breaking or getting close to track records. But now, they won't qualify at night. They will race at night. The track is fairly easy to find grip during a hot slick day, but when the sun comes down, speeds will come up, and the grip level will be maxed out. Speeds will be close to qualifying times every lap, cars will have a ton of grip, drivers will choose a lane, drive hard, and put on a great show.
No matter what time of day, Atlanta has always put on a great show, but for some reason seats struggle to fill. Maybe the Labor Day weekend switch with Auto Club Speedway will help with that. But one things for sure. History will be made this weekend, when the sun comes down, and the lights come on.
