Active/Next Gen Cup Track Stats: Atlanta

Last week we got to see yet another driver win their way into the playoffs, marking the 4th driver out of the Top 16 in points to do so, as Chase Briscoe held off Kyle Busch for his 2nd career Cup win. Now we start the playoffs by heading to a wildcard track, Atlanta.
