EchoPark Speedway, more commonly referred to as Atlanta Motor Speedway, is the first track to appear twice on the 2026 NASCAR Cup Series schedule, after each of the season's first 19 races were all contested at different venues.
The four-turn, 1.54-mile (2.478-kilometer) high-banked Hampton, Georgia oval hosted the season's second race back in February. Sunday's 260-lap race is not only the 20th points race on the schedule, but also the third of five races in NASCAR's second annual In-Season Challenge.
Team Penske's Ryan Blaney, who is one of eight drivers still in the running to win the tournament, took the pole position in Saturday's qualifying session. Teammate Joey Logano joined him on the front row, while new points leader Denny Hamlin of Joe Gibbs Racing only qualified 28th.
