Atlanta Motor Speedway, now officially known as EchoPark Speedway for sponsorship purposes, has been considered a superspeedway since 2022, following the repave that took place after it hosted its two NASCAR Cup Series races in 2021.
For the third year in a row, the Cup Series is visiting the four-turn, 1.54-mile (2.478-kilometer) Hampton, Georgia oval immediately after the season-opening Daytona 500 at Daytona International Speedway, giving the series back-to-back drafting races to open up the year.
It was 23XI Racing's Tyler Reddick who took the pole position for Sunday's 260-lap Autotrader 400 by way of NASCAR's qualifying metric (full breakdown here), due to the fact that Saturday's qualifying session was canceled because of inclement weather, and Team Penske's Joey Logano who joined him on the front row.
A full starting lineup can be found here.
