The fifth race of the NASCAR Cup Series takes place at Atlanta Motor Speedway.
Coming off of a week that gave the NASCAR Cup Series its first repeat winner, it’s Atlanta Motor Speedway’s turn to get in on the action.
After Ricky Stenhouse Jr. won the Daytona 500 and Kyle Busch won at Fontana, William Byron has won each of the last two races at Las Vegas and Phoenix.
Byron’s success in the last two events was most welcomed for him, as he struggled mightily at Daytona (34th) and Fontana (25th).
Ironically, Byron himself is the defending winner at the upcoming race. He won last year, handing him his third career victory and first of two in 2022.
The Hendrick Motorsports cars (including Byron), as well as Denny Hamlin, will be ones to watch this weekend, as each of them are coming off of severe penalties that resulted in points being lost and large fines being handed out.
When is the Ambetter Health 400 and what time does it start?
The first Atlanta race of the year will take place on Sunday, March 19th. The green flag is set to fly at 2:00 p.m. ET.
Where is the Ambetter Health 400 going to be televised? Where can I stream it?
FOX Sports will once again have the live television broadcast of this weekend’s race, while also streaming it on their app.
Additionally, fuboTV will be streaming the race with a free seven-day trial, so users are free to cancel as soon as the race is over.
