After a festive Fourth of July weekend in Chicago, NASCAR will return to Atlanta for the second time this season on Sunday for the Quaker State 400.
Apart from major tracks like Daytona and Talladega, EchoPark Speedway has hosted many of the most exciting Cup Series races in recent years. Following significant renovations in 2022, the former Atlanta Motor Speedway now features higher banking in the turns and a narrower racing surface, giving it the feel of a smaller “superspeedway.” Because of its configuration, races at EchoPark are often unpredictable and thrilling. Fans can expect spirited passing and non-stop action on each lap around the 1.54-mile oval. Heading into Sunday, the betting favorites include Tyler Reddick, Ryan Blaney, and Chase Elliott. Be sure to tune in for all the action.
