Track type

Intermediate Oval

Overview

Atlanta is a 1.54-mile oval in Hampton, Georgia. The 2022 reconfiguration steepened banking to 28 degrees and now races closer to superspeedway pack style than traditional intermediate. Two Cup races per season.

Weather angle

Georgia summer thunderstorm risk brings rain delays for the summer race. Wind affects drafting under the new configuration similar to superspeedway effects.

For DFS and bettors

Radar risk and heat-driven tire wear are the primary weather angles. Post-reconfiguration race style is more weather-sensitive than the old intermediate profile.
