Motor Speedway looking to finish what he started last July in Sunday’s Ambetter Health 400, and while the opportunity to score his first career NASCAR Cup Series win never materialized in the closing laps of the race, the Spire Motorsports driver did deliver a strong fourth-place finish.
Last week, I laid out a formula for winning at Atlanta by leading a lot of laps.
Joey Logano did just that leading 140 of the 260 laps from the pole. Brad Keselowski placed second and led a distant 47 laps. Eleven other drivers led but they weren’t even close to the top 2 lap leaders.

With a near pole win last November in his first NASCAR Xfinity Series start at Phoenix Raceway, we learned that part-time driver Sammy Smith had speed at the Arizona one-mile track, and after posting a top-10 finish in that Xfinity Series championship race, we knew he could handle himself in a Xfinity Series car.
