In a dramatic three-wide photo finish, Daniel Suarez snapped a 57-race winless streak and won the NASCAR Cup Series race at Atlanta Motor Speedway. I crossed the finish line just 0.003s ahead of Ryan Blaney and 0.007s ahead of Kyle Busch.
Busch now leads the regular season standings, but only by 1pt over William Byron and Austin Cindric. After two drafting races to kick off the new year, Bubba Wallace is the only driver to have scored a top-five and top-ten in both.
It was Suarez’s second career Cup Series victory, and the first for a foreign-born driver on an oval track since 1974. Suarez joins Byron as the first two drivers to have almost certainly guaranteed themselves a spot in the 2024 playoffs.
NASCAR now heads west to Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Last March, Hendrick Motorsports finished 1-2-3 there with Byron taking the victory.
