NASCAR Quaker State 400 Picks, Preview, Odds
The second race at Atlanta Motor Speedway this season takes place under the lights on Sunday evening with the Quaker State 400.
The drivers are getting back to normalcy this week after last Sunday's debut of the Grant Park 220 in downtown Chicago, which was the first-ever street race in NASCAR history.
Shane van Gisbergen won the rain-soaked event in his NASCAR debut, as he normally races in Australia in the Supercars Championship, which specializes in street racing.
The first race in Atlanta this season was captured by Joey Logano in mid-March as he won the Ambetter Health 400, finishing ahead of Brad Keselowski and Christopher Bell.
In last year's edition of the Quaker State 400, Chase Elliott went wire-to-wire for the victory as he led after each of the first two stages before grabbing the checkered flag.
QUAKER STATE 400 TOP-5 FINISH PREDICTION
1) #1 Ross Chastain (20/1)
2) #9 Chase Elliott (12/1)
3) #12 Ryan Blaney (9/1)
4) #19 Martin Truex, Jr. (20/1)
5) #8 Kyle Busch (14/1)
QUAKER STATE 400 PICKS & PREDICTIONS
Ross Chastain (20/1) posted a pair of second-place finishes in Atlanta last year, including leading 32 laps at the Quaker State 400 before placing right behind Elliott.
Chastain finished in 13th place in the earlier Atlanta race this season, as he seeks his second win in three races after capturing a victory at Nashville last month.
It's hard not to consider Elliott (12/1) to place in the Top-5 once again after his dominating performance in this race in 2022. Since 2021, Elliott has three Top-7 finishes in his home state of Georgia.
Ryan Blaney (9/1) owns one career win in Atlanta, which came back in 2021. Since the reconfiguration of the track in Atlanta, Blaney has fared well with four Top-7 finishes since 2021, while posting a fifth-place finish last year at the Quaker State 400.
