Aug. 4: Two race weekends on tap for EchoPark Speedway in 2027
EchoPark Speedway near Atlanta will host a pair of NASCAR race weekends next season, with Cup Series events scheduled for Feb. 28 and July 18 in 2027.
The 1.54-mile track, which features superspeedway-style racing on an intermediate-sized circuit, will again be slotted as host of the Autotrader 400, the second points-paying race of the Cup Series schedule with coverage from FOX Sports. Its summertime date, capped by the Cup Series’ Dollar Tree 400, is set to be part of TNT Sports’ Cup Series broadcast schedule.
The NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series will join the Cup Series for both Atlanta weekends for the first time since 2008. The O’Reilly Auto Parts Series is set to visit EchoPark Speedway in February, creating a tripleheader weekend for all three NASCAR national tours. The track indicated that start times will be announced at a later date.
The high-speed Georgia venue has been entrenched on NASCAR’s major-league schedule since 1960. After a 10-year stretch of hosting one Cup Series weekend each season, EchoPark has been the site of two annual stops on the schedule each year since 2021.
