Second Atlanta NASCAR weekend to move to June in 2025
HAMPTON, Ga. — Atlanta Motor Speedway’s second NASCAR weekend will happen in June to start the Cup Series’ in-season tournament on TNT Sports in 2025.
The NASCAR Cup Series’ Quaker State 400 available at Walmart will run Saturday, June 28, 2025.
This season, there are just two Saturday night races – the 400-mile race at Daytona and the Bristol night race – so this will likely be the third night race on the Cup Series schedule.
The race will kick off a five-race in-season tournament that TNT Sports will broadcast next season. The tournament winner will receive a $1 million prize.
The weekend will also feature the NASCAR Xfinity Series’ Focused Health 250 on Friday, June 27, 2025. The full slate of weekend events will be announced at a later date.
This year’s second race weekend will still take place September 6-8, 2024, with the NASCAR Xfinity and Cup Series racing.
