Checkered Countdown: Top-Five Atlanta Finishes

Kevin Liles-USA TODAY

After witnessing Joey Logano win his first Daytona 500 on Sunday, all three NASCAR divisions are heading to Atlanta Motor Speedway for the Folds of Honor Quick Trip 500. It will be the first time that a race will be held there in March since 2010: after that season in fact the spring race at Atlanta was cancelled to add a race at Kentucky Speedway to the schedule, and this year the only race left at this track has been moved back from Labor Day weekend to the first weekend of March. In this edition of Checkered Countdown we will go through the five best finishes that took place at this always spectacular track. You might already have a couple of them in mind, but in this weekly series we will help you remember some more.
