Pit Pass Network Predictions: ROVAL & Road Atlanta

This weekend marks the end of the IMSA season. Five of their series head to Road Atlanta for the Motul Petit LeMans, a 10 hour race for the WeatherTech Sportscar Championship finale. Meanwhile, the NASCAR Cup and Xfinity Series head to their own road course. A new configuration of the ROVAL will welcome NASCAR’s top two series. Will the new layout cause more chaos and havoc for the playoff drivers? Road racing is on the menu for race fans this weekend. With the ROVAL and season finale for IMSA, who did the Pit Pass Network crew pick to be winners? Check out the Pit Pass Network Predictions for the ROVAL and Road Atlanta.
