There's more high-speed pack racing in store this weekend as the NASCAR Cup Series returns to Atlanta Motor Speedway's Franken-track. Prior to the 2022 season, speedway management completed a facelift of the 1.54-mile circuit that narrowed the corners and raised the banking to 28 degrees to encourage racing that more resembles the 2.5-mile-plus Daytona and Talladega superspeedways.
. While organizers got the exciting pack racing they wanted, between two races there were 22 cautions for crashes. That's more than the last four races at Daytona and Talladega combined.
