The 2024 Ambetter Health 400 saw Richard Childress Racing driver Kyle Busch finish in P3 after a nail-biting photo finish took fans of the sport to the edge of their seats.
The 400-mile-long event at Atlanta Motor Speedway came down to a meager difference of 0.007 seconds between the winner, Daniel Suarez, and third-place finisher Busch. Team Penske's Ryan Blaney finished in P2 within that margin for good measure as well.

"Can’t get much closer than that. Needed a couple inches. Fast @cheddarskitchen @teamchevy car today, excited about the strength we’ve shown to start the year. Home turf next week."

"I’ve been telling you that for almost 20 years"

"Alliances do seem to work" - Kyle Busch on getting help from "friends" during 2024 Ambetter Health 400
Kyle Busch recently spoke about how friendships and alliances with fellow drivers can play a vital role, especially in superspeedway-style racing at drafting tracks such as the Atlanta Motor Speedway.
Often known for his brash attitude on and off the racetrack, Busch seems to have warmed up to his peers. This aligns his increase in fan popularity ever since he switched to Richard Childress Racing. The #8 Chevy driver elaborated on the same in an interview with FOX Sports' Jamie Little:
"It shows that when you do have friends and make alliances, they do seem to work and that was the good part of today."
