As the NASCAR Cup Series heads to Atlanta Motor Speedway, RCR driver Austin Dillon has issued a warning to the grid. Known for its challenging layout and evolving track conditions, Atlanta isn’t forgiving to those without a sound strategy.
Dillon stressed the importance of planning in the team’s press release, noting that, due to drafting-style racing at the track, it is imperative to have a clear game plan.
“When you don’t have a game plan that you can fully commit to, you can get stuck in the middle and that usually doesn’t turn out well,” Dillon said. This is going to be an unpredictable race that drivers face at the famous 1.54-mile oval.
Richard Childress Racing has a storied history at Atlanta Motor Speedway, boasting an impressive performance record. In the NASCAR Cup Series, RCR has notched up 163 starts and secured nine victories.
