– There are only 5 active drivers who have not gotten a Stage T10 at Atlanta, and they will look to change that this weekend.
| Driver | Streak | Category | Driver | Streak | Category |
| Carson Hocevar | 2 | Top 10’s | Chase Elliott | 2 | Stage T10’s |
| Ricky Stenhouse Jr. | 2 | Top 10’s | Shane Van Gisbergen | 2 | Stage T10’s |
| Brad Keselowski | 2 | Stage T10’s |
– The carnage that happened in last Summer’s Atlanta race caused every streak that was alive to come to and end, leaving only streaks of 2 in the table above.
