Atlanta Motor Speedway, which is now technically known as EchoPark Speedway for sponsorship purposes, is set to become the first track to host two races during the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series season.
The four-turn, 1.54-mile (2.478-kilometer) Hampton, Georgia oval hosted the season's second race back in February, and now it is scheduled to host its 18th race this Saturday. Last year's second Atlanta race was not contested until September in the playoffs.
As was the case in February, NASCAR utilized the new two-variable qualifying formula to determine the qualifying order this weekend, rather than the four-variable formula that was abandoned after the 2024 season.
A full explanation of the new metric can be found here.
Qualifying is simple. There are no more groups and thus no more row-by-row lane designations. There is still a second round shootout for the pole position. All 40 drivers on the entry list are set to make a single single-lap qualifying attempt, and speeds from those runs are set to determine the starting lineup from 11th to 40th place. The top 10 drivers are set to make a second single-lap attempt to battle for pole.
Update: Due to weather, there is just one round of qualifying.
