For the second straight year, the Quaker State 400 will be run at Atlanta Motor Speedway. The race had been a staple of the track for a long time but was moved to Kentucky Speedway and run there from 2011-20.

Only three active drivers have won the Quaker State 400 at Atlanta: Kevin Harvick, Kyle Busch and Kurt Busch. Kurt Busch has won the last three Quaker State 400s at Atlanta (2009, 2010, 2021). Harvick collected his win in 2001, and Kyle Busch won there in 2008.

This track has been dominated by the three older drivers. Including the Folds of Honor QuikTrip 500, Kurt Busch has won four races at Atlanta Motor Speedway, Harvick has three wins and Kyle Busch has two.

William Byron won the most recent race at Atlanta, the Folds of Honor QuikTrip 500 last March 20.
