HAMPTON, Ga. (Feb. 10, 2017) – Drivers from three NASCAR XFINITY Series teams wrapped up a two-day, pre-season test at Atlanta Motor Speedway Friday afternoon in preparation for the 2017 NASCAR season that gets underway in two weeks. William Byron, who won 2016 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series Rookie of the Year honors after winning seven races last season, tested the No. 9 Chevrolet Camaro for JR Motorsports. Byron joins JR Motorsports this season, moving into a full-time NASCAR XFINITY Series role for the first time. It was a homecoming of sorts for Byron, who raced U.S. Legends cars on AMS's quarter-mile "Thunder Ring" in 2013, winning that year's Young Lions Division championship. Testing the No. 23 Chevrolet Camaro for GMS Racing was Spencer Gallagher. Gallagher also moves into his first full-time NASCAR XFINITY Series ride after two full seasons in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series for the same team. Finally, Cole Custer tested the No. 00 Ford Mustang for Stewart-Haas Racing, whose XFINITY Series program debuts full-time for the first time in 2017. Custer last season drove full-time in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series for JR Motorsports, picking up two poles and 14 top-10s. NASCAR racing returns to Atlanta Motor Speedway March 3-5, 2017, featuring the Rinnai 250 XFINITY Series and Active Pest Control 200 Camping World Truck Series doubleheader on Saturday, March 4 and the Folds of Honor QuikTrip 500 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series race on Sunday, March 5.

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.
