Both Races In NASCAR's Atlanta Doubleheader Wreck Within The First Two Laps
Both Races In NASCAR's Atlanta Doubleheader Wreck Within The First Two Laps-September 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:11:25

Dillon’s Xfinity team, on the other hand, fixed up his car within NASCAR’s and got the car back on track. The rest of the race was pretty tame, and Dillon finished 17th. Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series driver Kyle Busch won the race ahead of four other Cup Series drivers ().

The Camping World Truck Series race went green less than an hour after that win, and it kicked off with a spin by the No. 18 truck of Noah Gragson. The spin collected the No. 7 of Brett Moffitt, but both drivers were able to stay in the race and were on the lead lap at the time of this writing during the second stage.
