The 2023 NASCAR Cup Series heads to Hampton, Georgia, this weekend after the thriller at the Phoenix Raceway.
The Ambetter Health 400 is the fifth NASCAR Cup Series race of the season and will be held on Sunday (March 19) at the Atlanta Motor Speedway. The race will kick off at 3:00 pm ET and will be broadcast on FOX and PRN.
The event will be contested over 260 laps at the 1.54-mile-long (2.48 km) asphalt quad-oval intermediate speedway. Sunday's event marks the 65th annual race hosted by the Atlanta Motor Speedway in the history of the Cup Series.
The track features 28 degrees of banking in turns and five degrees on the straightaway.
Motorsports journalist Bob Pockrass recently took to Twitter to share a list of drivers taking part in the Ambetter Health 400.
The 36 drivers will take on the green flag and one driver has changed on this weekend’s docket: #15 Rick Ware Racing’s JJ Yeley, who is making his third start of the season. He replaced Todd Gilliland, who moved back to his primary ride - #38 for Front Row Motorsports.
The #9 of Hendrick Motorsports will be driven by Josh Berry as he continues to fill in for the injured Chase Elliott.
Hendrick Motorsports driver William Byron won last year’s Ambetter Health 400, previously known as the Folds of Honor QuikTrip 500 and finished with a total time of three hours, 57 minutes, and 14 seconds. He will be looking forward to defending his title this Sunday.
