The 2023 NASCAR Cup Series heads to Hampton, Georgia, this weekend after the action-packed inaugural Grant Park 220.
The Quaker State 400 is the 19th NASCAR Cup Series race of the season and will be held on Sunday (July 9) at the Atlanta Motor Speedway. The race is scheduled to kick off at 7 pm ET and will be broadcast on USA Network, PRN, and Peacock.
The event will be contested over 260 laps at the Atlanta Motor Speedway. It marks the 54th annual Quaker State 400 hosted by the 1.54-mile-long asphalt quad oval speedway in the history of the Cup Series.
The 1.54-mile-long track consists of 24 degrees of banking in the turns and 5 degrees on the straightaway. NASCAR journalist Bob Pockrass recently took to Twitter to share an entry list of drivers taking part in the 54th Quaker State 400.
