Atlanta's Night Race Comes with Higher Stakes

Atlanta's Night Race Comes with Higher Stakes

#NASCAR's First-Ever In-Season Tournament

Atlanta's Night Race Comes with Higher Stakes


When the stars of NASCAR duel on EchoPark Speedway’s high banks this Saturday night, the race will carry higher, never-before-seen stakes.

The Quaker State 400 Available at Walmart will not only be a pivotal event for drivers competing to race their way into NASCAR playoffs or bolster their championship hopes; the event will also be the first in 32 drivers’ quest to win $1 million in NASCAR’s first-ever In-Season Tournament.

 

Seeding for the field of 32 drivers in contention for the $1 million prize was set based on the results of the NASCAR Cup Series events in Michigan, Mexico City, and Pocono. These drivers will compete over the course of five races – starting with Saturday night’s Quaker State 400 in Atlanta – in head-to-head, bracket-style elimination matchups to determine who will be the inaugural winner of the NASCAR In-Season Tournament.

 

Saturday night’s event at EchoPark Speedway will feature 16 head-to-head matchups at one of the series’ wildest and most intense tracks:

 

  1. #1 Denny Hamlin (No. 11 Toyota) vs. #32 Ty Dillon (No. 10 Chevrolet)
  2. #2 Chase Briscoe (No. 19 Toyota) vs. #31 Noah Gragson (No. 4 Ford)
  3. #3 Chris Buescher (No. 17 Ford) vs. #30 Todd Gilliland (No. 34 Ford)
  4. #4 Christopher Bell (No. 20 Toyota) vs. #29 Ricky Stenhouse Jr. (No. 47 Chevrolet)
  5. #5 Chase Elliott (No. 9 Chevrolet) vs. #28 Austin Dillon (No. 3 Chevrolet)
  6. #6 Ty Gibbs (No. 54 Toyota) vs. #27 Justin Haley (No. 7 Chevrolet)
  7. #7 Ryan Blaney (No. 12 Ford) vs. #26 Carson Hocevar (No. 77 Chevrolet)
  8. #8 Alex Bowman (No. 48 Chevrolet) vs. #25 Joey Logano (No. 22 Ford)
  9. #9 Bubba Wallace (No. 23 Toyota) vs. #24 Daniel Suárez (No. 99 Chevrolet)
  10. #10 Kyle Larson (No. 5 Chevrolet) vs. #23 Tyler Reddick (No. 45 Toyota)
  11. #11 Michael McDowell (No. 71 Chevrolet) vs. #22 AJ Allmendinger (No. 16 Chevrolet)
  12. #12 John Hunter Nemechek (No. 42 Toyota) vs. #21 Josh Berry (No. 21 Ford)
  13. #13 Ross Chastain (No. 1 Chevrolet vs. #20 Erik Jones (No. 43 Toyota)
  14. #14 Zane Smith (No. 38 Ford) vs. #19 Austin Cindric (No. 2 Ford)
  15. #15 Ryan Preece (No. 60 Ford) vs. #18 William Byron (No. 24 Chevrolet)
  16. #16 Kyle Busch (No. 8 Chevrolet) vs. #17 Brad Keselowski (No. 6 Ford)

 

The 16 drivers who finish better than their head-to-head opponent will advance to the next round at the Chicago Street Course; the other 16 drivers will be eliminated from the tournament.

 

The added intrigue of the tournament matchups will unfold amongst some of the fastest and most awe-inspiring racing NASCAR has to offer. Fresh off another tantalizing event that saw a track record 50 lead changes in NASCAR’s spring visit to EchoPark Speedway in February, fans expect to see another thrilling affair under the lights on Saturday night at 7 p.m.

 

The drivers aren't the only ones competing for a Million Dollar Prize. Create a perfect NASCAR in-Season Change Bracket and win BIG!
