Cup Series drivers completed another intense race at EchoPark Speedway last weekend, marking the second time the circuit has visited Atlanta this year. Ryan Blaney took the checkered flag on Sunday, replacing Tyler Reddick, who did so in February.
In just a few days, drivers will turn their attention to North Wilkesboro, a track that hasn’t been used for points racing since 1996. The unfamiliarity will surely be an interesting factor in North Carolina, though many Cup Series drivers did test out this circuit in last year’s All-Star race.
Odds currently favor Denny Hamlin, Kyle Larson, Ryan Blaney and Christopher Bell. You’ll want to tune in for this one.
Here’s everything you need to know about the Window World 450, including TV channel and streaming options for the NASCAR Cup Series race.
