After the show EchoPark Speedway put on last night, is Atlanta the best track in the NASCAR <\/a>Cup Series? With another instant classic race two nights ago, it is worth asking. <\/p>\n

Atlanta, Kansas, Homestead-Miami, Charlotte? Which of these tracks is the best track on the schedule right now? I think you could argue Atlanta gives NASCAR fans the best bang for their buck. <\/p>\n

Jeff Gluck and Jordan Bianchi of The Athletic think Atlanta might be the best track. It consistently puts on great racing and last weekend was another example of that. <\/p>\n

\u201cI mean, look, this is so embarrassing, \u201d Gluck said on The Teardown<\/a>. \u201cI mean, because I was down on this track. \u2026 Every race now, I look more and more like an idiot, because is this NASCAR\u2019s best track? Like, legit?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYes! We talk all of the time on this show on how great the intermediates are, the Charlottes, the Kansases [sic], maybe Vegas, just a little bit lesser degree,\u201d Bianchi said about other NASCAR tracks compared to Atlanta. \u201cOh we are so excited they\u2019re going to go there, and they\u2019re going to put on a great show. And they do. Like Charlotte this year, the 600 was a terrific race. I\u2019m sorry, I saw your stat, 50 lead changes in the Spring race here, 46 tonight, right? <\/p>\n

\u201cThis is NASCAR\u2019s most competitive, interesting track. And I don\u2019t think you can watch this race tonight and sit there and say, \u2018Oh, this is just a typical speedway,\u2019 that kind of thing. Yes, I know there\u2019s luck involved, I know there was accidents, but these guys were wheelin\u2019 it. They were fighting the track tonight. You could see how hard it was. This was a handling race track. This was old school Daytona-esque. So, yeah, there\u2019s superspeedway elements and circumstances, that kind of thing. But do not discredit what these guys did tonight.\u201d <\/p>\n

Bianchi had more to say about the new-look Atlanta in NASCAR. EchoPark Speedway or whatever name on it, the racing is compelling. <\/p>\n

\u201cThis was a fantastic race, and this track consistently is one of the two or three very best on the circuit, hands down, every year since reconfiguration,\u201d he concluded. He isn\u2019t wrong, either. <\/p>\n

Whether it is the three-wide finish or last weekend\u2019s finish, the NASCAR Cup Series in Atlanta is producing great moments every single race. Even in the Spring race this season, before the caution came out on the last lap, we were about to get another three-wide finish at the line. <\/p>\n

When it comes to the best decisions Speedway Motorsports and Marcus Smith have ever made, Atlanta\u2019s reconfiguration might be the greatest. I like the Roval as much as the next guy (less and less each season), but the new Atlanta is a thriller of a track. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"After the show EchoPark Speedway put on last night, is Atlanta the best track in the NASCAR Cup…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":29314,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[46],"tags":[1406,62,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-29313","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nascar","8":"tag-nascar","9":"tag-sports","10":"tag-united-states","11":"tag-unitedstates","12":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114776892098830268","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29313","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=29313"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29313\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/29314"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=29313"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=29313"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=29313"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
