to Remain Second-to-Last Race Before the Chase

HAMPTON, Ga. (October 15, 2013) – The NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Schedule was released and the Labor Day weekend race at Atlanta Motor Speedway on Aug. 31 remains the second-to-last race before the Chase for the Sprint Cup begins.

“A handful of drivers with their season on the line put themselves in position to make the chase with their finish this past year,” said Atlanta Motor Speedway President and General Manager Ed Clark. “The race at Atlanta Motor Speedway remains crucial in determining who will qualify for the Chase.”

As the second-to-last race before the Chase for the Sprint Cup Championship, Atlanta Motor Speedway figures to play a pivotal role as drivers battle for wins, points and position before the ten-race playoff begins. In past years, a driver’s finish at Atlanta Motor Speedway on Labor Day weekend can make or break a season. Kyle Busch was the winner of the AdvoCare 500 at Atlanta Motor Speedway on Sept. 1, 2013.

The weekend schedule includes NASCAR Sprint Cup Series qualifying on Friday, Aug. 29 and the 300-mile NASCAR Nationwide Series race on Saturday, Aug. 30. The weekend concludes with the 500-mile NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at Atlanta Motor Speedway on Aug. 31.

NOTE 'N FANTASY TRACK TIPS

Know The Track -
NASCAR races are run on a variety of tracks such as flat tracks, road courses, super speedways and short tracks.
Some drivers do better or worse on different track types so check their stats. If the race is on a short track like Bristol or Richmond, where wrecks can be frequent, consider starting fewer big names and go with guys who will be spread out through the pack. That way a wreck up front won't take out all of your drivers.Check The Average Start Position -
If your league awards qualifying points, you'll want to have drivers in your lineup who consistently qualify in the top 4 to increase your chance of getting extra points.
Who Won The Nationwide Series Race Yesterday? - There is usually a Nationwide series race the day before a NASCAR Cup series race. Many of the Cup drivers compete in the Busch race and drivers who finish well there usually do well in the big race the next day, sometimes with back to back wins.
