The NASCAR Cup Series will return to Atlanta Motor Speedway on July 12 for the Quaker State 400, a 260‑lap event that covers 400.4 miles of racing and is scheduled to start at approximately 6:15 p.m. Central Time.
Pole Position and Manufacturer Dynamics
Ryan Blaney secured the pole, guiding a Ford‑powered lineup that also features strong showings from Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolets, while no Toyota entry cracked the top ten.
Tyler Reddick, who captured the February race at EchoPark Speedway, remains a contender, and the event will be staged in three stages — 60 laps, 100 laps and a final 100‑lap sprint.
Broadcast and Streaming Details
The race will be televised nationally on TNT, with live streaming available through HBO Max and the official NASCAR.com platform, including in‑car camera feeds for an enhanced viewing experience.
