NASCAR: Five Fast Facts About Atlanta Motor Speedway

The Best at AMS

It should come as no surprise that Dale Earnhardt was the best driver when it comes to racing at Atlanta Motor Speedway. The six time champion held several all-time records at the track, including most wins, most top five’s and best average finish.  The Man in Black also holds the record for winning the quickest race at Atlanta Motor Speedway, which strangely come down to three hours, three minutes and three seconds.

As for who has the most wins at Atlanta among active drivers, Jimmie Johnson holds that distinction, with three wins at “Hotlanta “in his Sprint Cup Career. Jeff Gordon held the record last year with five wins at the track, but his retirement after the 2015 season handed the honor over to Jimmie Johnson.
