NASCAR Cup Series qualifying: Full Atlanta starting lineup

Atlanta Motor Speedway, which is now technically known as EchoPark Speedway for sponsorship purposes, is set to become the first track to host two races during the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series season.

Atlanta Motor Speedway, which is now technically known as EchoPark Speedway for sponsorship purposes, is set to become the first track to host two races during the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series season.

The four-turn, 1.54-mile (2.478-kilometer) Hampton, Georgia oval hosted the season’s second race back in February, and now it is scheduled to host its 18th race this Saturday. Last year’s second Atlanta race was not contested until September in the playoffs.

As was the case in February, NASCAR utilized the new two-variable qualifying formula to determine the qualifying order this weekend, rather than the four-variable formula that was abandoned after the 2024 season.

A full explanation of the new metric can be found here.

Qualifying is simple. There are no more groups and thus no more row-by-row lane designations. There is still a second round shootout for the pole position. All 40 drivers on the entry list are set to make a single single-lap qualifying attempt, and speeds from those runs are set to determine the starting lineup from 11th to 40th place. The top 10 drivers are set to make a second single-lap attempt to battle for pole.

Update: Due to weather, there is just one round of qualifying.

Follow along with our qualifying updates from Atlanta.

If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to experience NASCAR up close – the roar of the engines, the pulse of the crowd, the energy you can feel – New Hampshire Motor Speedway (NHMS) is the ultimate place to take that first step.

Tucked into the scenic woods of Loudon, N.H., NHMS is more than just a racetrack. It’s the heart of New England motorsports and the ideal spot for first-time NASCAR fans to dive into the action. Whether you’re flying solo, road-tripping with friends or bringing the whole family, you’ll find a welcoming, high-energy atmosphere that makes it easy and exciting to fall in love with racing.

Experience NASCAR Playoffs Weekend Like a Pro

NHMS hosts the only NASCAR Playoffs event in New England. The NASCAR Cup Series Playoffs Round of 12 kicks off right here with drivers fighting for their championship dreams on the iconic 1.058-mile oval known as “The Magic Mile,” but that’s just the beginning. The NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series returns to NHMS for the first time since 2017 with the Round of 10 cutoff race, adding even more horsepower to the lineup, along with the fan-favorite Mohegan Sun 100 NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour race. That’s three premier races in one jam-packed weekend – perfect for new fans who want to experience the full throttle of NASCAR all in one place.

A Fan-Friendly Experience That’s Easy to Navigate

One of the biggest concerns for first-timers? Getting around. NHMS makes it simple. With free general parking and complimentary trams and shuttles, getting from your car to your seat or anywhere else is a breeze. No confusing routes or endless walking. You’ll always feel right at home, even if it’s your first time through the gates. The grandstands offer great views of the entire track, and helpful staff are everywhere to answer questions and guide you to your destination.

More Than Just Racing: Entertainment All Weekend Long

NHMS knows how to throw a party. The weekend’s entertainment lineup includes live music, driver appearances and high-octane dirt racing at The Flat Track, located behind the New England Racing Museum near the speedway’s South Entrance. Stroll through the Fan Zone, where you’ll find interactive games, photo ops, free giveaways and more that keeps the energy high between races. There’s a real festival vibe – one that’s great for groups of friends, date days and even families with kids (yes, it’s totally family-friendly).

First-Time Friendly, Crowd-Approved

New fans consistently rave about the vibe at NHMS: from the clean facilities and organized parking to the welcoming staff and electric race-day atmosphere. There’s no need to know every driver or rule before you come. Just bring your curiosity – and some ear protection – and get ready to have a blast.

Denny Hamlin has been impressed by Hendrick Motorsports rival Chase Elliott recently after he skyrocketed to the top of the NASCAR Cup Series points following a monster run. Elliott booked his spot in the playoffs with a win at Atlanta late last month, but his victory came amid a consistent run of top-ten finishes.

Elliott finished third and fifth before taking the chequered flag in his home State. He finished 16th in Chicago but bounced back to third at Sonoma, followed by sixth at Dover, which Hamlin won to take his fourth victory of 2025.

“Six weeks ago, he was 10th to 15th every week and then would finish in the top 10 because attrition and whatever, and now he’s leading,” Hamlin said about Elliott. “A lot of it is [William] Byron’s had a very tough couple months. All of us guys at the top, there was three or four of us that had major issues. Chase doesn’t have those.”

Hamlin’s comments follow after Elliott, who started on pole, was in a prime position to win. The 29-year-old dominated 238 of the 407 laps, but poor pit stops saw Elliott lose control of the race.

“To me it felt like one of his stronger performances,” Hamlin added. “…I just feel as though Chase is one of those guys that leads 100-200 laps in races, right? He’ll get you really good finishes and he’ll get you some wins, but it’s not dominating.”

Elliott clawed his way up the Cup Series rankings after being over 100 points off top spot. “He’s made a massive run, and it’s not just because of this one week,” Hamlin said. “I’ve just feel like they’ve turned the corner, and they are stronger now than what they were.”

Elliott was proud of his team’s performance, battling the weather and other challenges in the race. “Been really proud of the effort all day,” Chase Elliott said to TNT Sports during a weather delay in the final stage.

“Couple little hiccups here and there, but had a nice recovery to get back to the lead and didn’t want to see that caution. I was hoping I was settling in for the last run of the day, but it’s part of it. It can change really fast.”

DON’T MISS:

A jack issue played its part in costing Elliott from competng for the win. “You know you’re still early enough in the event at that point that there’s still a lot of time to recover,” Elliott said.

“It’s not all sunshine and rainbows all the time, so you just have to deal with whatever comes your way, and we had an issue come our way and I felt like we’ve dealt with it well.”
