Ready for 260 laps around this 1.54 mile quad-oval?
Atlanta has hosted NASCAR Cup Series stock car races since its inauguration in 1960. Every year from spring until fall, the speedway hosts "Friday Night Drags" where participants drag race down the 1/8-mile pit road.
The facility also hosts several driving schools year-round, such as Richard Petty Driving Experience, where visitors have the opportunity to experience the speedway from behind the wheel of a race car. The track also hosts Speed Tech Driving School, which allows individuals to race 6 or more laps on the track when it is not in use for NASCAR or other events.
In September 2004, Atlanta Motor Speedway found another use: it became a shelter for evacuees from Florida fleeing Hurricane Frances. While there were no indoor facilities available, visitors waited out the extremely slow-moving storm parked in their recreational vehicles. Atlanta Motor Speedway has also opened their campgrounds to evacuees of Hurricane Irma in 2017, Hurricane Florence and Hurricane Michael in 2018, and Hurricane Dorian in 2019.
Pick your top five that will not be sitting and waiting out a hurricane.

Congratulations once again Diane!
It's interesting how this year our winners seem to win several weeks in a row.
