Now that the opening race — and biggest race of NASCAR’s season — is done, it almost feels like the real racing can begin.
While the restrictor-plate race at the Daytona 500 can create some unpredictable finishes, in which no one can really be favored to win, the Folds of Honor QuikTrip 500, which is run at Atlanta Motor Speedway, is the complete opposite.
The 1.5-mile intermediate track plays directly into the hands of the Big 3 in Kevin Harvick, Martin Truex Jr. and Kyle Busch. These three drivers are perennially at the top of the leaderboard on these types of tracks and will almost inevitably be this year again.
However, at the end of last season, it was Joey Logano who found a way to pull ahead at the final intermediate track of the year and take home a victory on a very similar course. That win gave him his first Cup Championship and gives him a lot of momentum coming into this year.
Atlanta’s D-shaped oval creates similar challenges for drivers as Homestead-Miami Speedway and Logano could very well be in position to take home a win here.
