Atlanta Motor Speedway is a 1.540 mi Quad-Oval race track 20 mi south of Atlanta. It has annually hosted NASCAR Cup Series stock car races since 1960. For the 2022 season the track was redesigned to have 28 degrees (previously 24 degrees) of banking and was narrowed from 55 to 40 ft which makes racing at the track similar to restrictor plate superspeedways. As a result, superspeedway rules are used at the track, despite being significantly shorter than Daytona or Talladega. It is now the most steeply banked mile and a half track in America.
The opening scenes of the 1980 movie Smokey and the Bandit II were filmed at the track. The track was used as a filming location for the 2017 comedy film Logan Lucky as a stand-in for Charlotte Motor Speedway. America's Got Talent: Extreme, filmed its first season at the track from September 27 to October 20, 2021.

After their performance so far this year, I have no real justification to pick my Fords.
But I will...

Congrats Ilene, I picked mine on the fly as we were just returning from our Oregon trip Sunday! Maybe that is why I couldn't figure out a pattern to your picks. They were fairly good picks though.
