The 2024 Ambetter Health 400 is finally done and dusted. The second race of the season started at 3:00 pm ET and lasted for three hours, 28 minutes and 11 seconds at Atlanta Motor Speedway, with 36 entries.
Daniel Suarez, driving the #99 Chevrolet for Trackhouse Racing, came out ahead in a wild three-wide photo finish to win Sunday’s Atlanta race, beating Ryan Blaney and Kyle Busch to the finish line by mere inches.
On the final lap, defending champion Blaney was driving defensively when Busch made a daring move to his outside.
The #8 driver used a push from Bubba Wallace Jr. to create space in the middle of the three-way just, with Suarez holding the outside lane and Blaney on the bottom and Busch in the middle.
The trio raced that way, spending the final corner three-wide, with none of them breaking away from each other before Suarez took victory in one of the closest finishes in series history.
Daniel Suarez crossed the finish line 0.003 seconds ahead of Blaney and 0.007 seconds ahead of Busch to grab the checkered flag. The win marked the second Cup Series career victory for the Mexican driver and ended his 57-race winless streak since June 2020 at Sonoma Raceway.
Meanwhile, Austin Cindric finished fourth followed by Bubba Wallace, Ricky Stenhouse, Jr., Ross Chastain, Michael McDowell, Chris Buescher and Ty Gibbs completed the top-10 of the Ambetter Health 400.
Sunday’s Ambetter Health 400 saw 48 lead changes among 14 drivers and witnessed 10 caution flags.
