Event Preview

The second race of the NASCAR Cup Series season is set for Georgia this weekend, as fans will be hoping for more drama following an action-packed Daytona 500. This weekend’s race has been on the schedule since 1960, with the talented field completing 260 laps to make up the 400.4-mile distance.

Chase Elliott looks like a solid contender after twice winning at the track since 2020. The popular driver has been in solid form so far this season, winning the America 250 Duel 2, before taking fourth in last weekend’s Daytona 500.

Tyler Reddick was the dramatic winner of the opening Classic of the season last weekend, completing a final-lap overtake to secure the win. The driver has been consistent on the Cup Series schedule, finishing ninth in the overall standings last term.

Ryan Blaney endured a mixed weekend in Daytona last weekend, eventually finishing 27^th in the overall standings. However, a return to a more conventional track should suit his chances, as he looks to build on his sixth-place finish in 2025.

Autotrader 400 Picks

A typically wide-open edition of the Autotrader 400 is set for this weekend. However, at the odds, Denny Hamlin could be of interest. The experienced racer endured a frustrating Daytona 500 last weekend, but his mentality and track experience could ensure that he gets back on track in Georgia.
