2024-12-24 14:02:50 source: category:Finance

The NASCAR Cup Series playoffs officially begin today. Atlanta Motor Speedway hosts the first race on the road to the 2024 championship, as 16 playoff drivers race against the rest of the field seeking to take the checkered flag and gain automatic advancement to the second round.

Atlanta presents a wide-open opportunity for any driver to speed to victory as the action on the 1.5-mile track has come to resemble the superspeedway pack racing made famous at Daytona and Talladega. The February race at Atlanta provides an excellent example as Daniel Suarez prevailed in a photo finish to score just his second career Cup Series win and clinch an early berth in the playoffs.
