Eric and Greg hit again and picked up the win from Sunday’s NASCAR Cup Series race in Road America. They each picked Tyler Reddick to score his 1st career victory on the Wisconsin road course which was a push for Greg to win his money back and a $20 profit for Eric.

Now, it’s to Atlanta for a great odds race with superspeedway style of racing ahead.

This race should look a lot like the one of the spring which featured action like Daytona and Talladega. Which is why with all the uncertainty we saw for the spring race, we have more data to base this weekend off of.

We’ve seen 3 superspeedway races run this season with 3 different drivers winning from 3 different teams. Austin Cindric (Team Penske) won the Daytona 500. William Byron (Hendrick Motorsports) won here in March while Ross Chastain (Trackhouse Racing) won at Talladega in April.

That certainly opens the door.

William Byron isn’t primed to be the 1st driver in well over a decade to sweep the Atlanta races. His teammates have all struggled on speedway tracks while Chase Elliott has never won on his hometrack before while Kyle Larson has 1 top 5 in 32 superspeedway starts. Team Penske was 9-17-32 this past spring themselves.

Does it open the door to Joe Gibbs Racing? They only went 8-23-29-33 here in March and features Martin Truex Jr. who’s 0-for-25 in Atlanta.

That’s why this could be a new team race. Trackhouse Racing (2nd, 4th in March) and 23XI Racing (3rd, 13th but Wallace was 2nd at the white flag and crashed) have my attention.
