Apart from major tracks like Daytona and Talladega, EchoPark Speedway has hosted many of the most exciting Cup Series races in recent years. With major track renovations in 2022, the former Atlanta Motor Speedway now has higher banking in the turns and a narrower racing surface, making it somewhat of a smaller “superspeedway”.
Given its nature, races at EchoPark are frequently unpredictable and exciting. Fans can expect to see lots of passing and continuous action on each lap around the 1.54-mile oval. Heading into Sunday, the odds favor Tyler Reddick, Ryan Blaney and Chase Elliott.
Be sure to tune in for all the action.
Here’s everything you need to know about the Quaker State 400, including TV channel and streaming options for the NASCAR race.
