ATLANTA, GA — Atlanta Motor Speedway announced Wednesday that it will host two NASCAR Cup Series races next year. This will be the first time since 1974. The two races will take place on March 21 and July 11, 2021. "We're beyond excited to deliver what our fans have been yearning for: A second weekend of NASCAR action in Atlanta once again," AMS Executive Vice President and General Manager Brandon Hutchison said in a statement. "Folds of Honor and QuikTrip continue to be phenomenal partners for our spring weekend of racing and we're thrilled to have Quaker State and Walmart on board this summer as we put together two weekends of entertainment and excitement for race fans." Atlanta Motor Speedway plans to host fans in its grandstands and camping areas in a socially distanced, limited capacity for each of its NASCAR Cup Series races. Seating and camping location availability are being determined based on health and safety guidelines. The coronavirus pandemic delayed Atlanta's race weekend this year. The race was moved from March 15 to June 7.
