Atlanta - Quaker State 400
The Quaker State 400 is the 20th race of the 2026 NASCAR Cup Series season and represents the third event of the NASCAR In-Season Challenge. Atlanta Motor Speedway was reconfigured between the 2021 and 2022 seasons, with banking increased from 24 to 28 degrees in the turns and the racing surface narrowed from 55 to 40 feet, transforming it into a drafting-style track similar to Daytona and Talladega. The track has regularly hosted NASCAR Cup Series races since its opening in 1960. As the racing surface ages, grip decreases and handling comes back into play.
