Saturday night's Quaker State 400 at Atlanta Motor Speedway is set to mark the first time in 2025 that the NASCAR Cup Series has raced twice at the same track, with Atlanta having also hosted the Ambetter Health 400 back in February.
Saturday's 260-lap race around the four-turn, 1.54-mile (2.478-kilometer) Hampton, Georgia oval is the 18th race on the schedule, so it also marks the halfway point of the season.
With Atlanta, which is now officially known as EchoPark Speedway for sponsorship purposes, set to host its second race of the year, NASCAR's new qualifying format has already been used there.
The new two-variable metric, which was introduced at the start of the 2025 season, replaced the four-variable metric that had been used to set the qualifying orders from 2020 to 2024.
A full breakdown of that metric can be found here.
Additionally, there are no more qualifying groups, and there is no longer a second round shootout for the pole position. Each driver simply gets one single-lap qualifying attempt, and those speeds determine the full starting lineup.
Here is a full look at the qualifying order.
