Although Austin Cindric will be racing the No. 2 Team Penske Ford during Sunday evening’s bout at Atlanta Motor Speedway as normal, the 24-year-old will have a different look, with the Columbus, Ohio native preparing to don glasses inside the car during Sunday’s Quaker State 400 (7 p.m. ET, USA, PRN, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio, NBC Sports App).

The new eyewear came in handy in Saturday’s qualifying session as Cindric will start 10th under the lights Sunday evening.

“I’ve been telling everybody it makes pretty things look prettier and ugly things look uglier,” a glasses-adorned Cindric said to Tyler Reddick during Saturday’s pre-qualifying media session with the No. 45 driver noticing the different look.

RELATED: Atlanta schedule | Cup lineup for Sunday

One reason for the change came at Nashville Superspeedway on June 25, where he finished 27th during the evening contest. The change became official on Wednesday when Cindric had an eye appointment and immediately sprinted to the mall to have a pair made within the hour.

While the change could initially bring fear, it is the opposite in the case of Cindric, who looks forward to the opportunity.

“One of my motivators was Nashville,” Cindric said. “I couldn’t see very well by the end of the race. Here I am with glasses before the next night race, so it’s not fear at all. I would say I’m gonna have a great improvement come Sunday night.”

Cindric plans to wear glasses as opposed to contacts in the car and additionally asked Joey Logano — another fellow glass-wearer — about the intricacies of where glasses inside the machine with the helmet and additional gear taken into account.

“I didn’t take any much time to decide whether or not this was the right thing for me to do as far as getting glasses, especially for me,” Cindric said. “I guess I’m nearsighted, and I have trouble seeing things far away. My profession requires me to identify things that are far away at a high rate of speed, so I would identify that as significantly important to eliminate a weakness.”

Cindric currently sits 22nd in the season points standings and has three top-10 finishes in 18 starts this season.

HAMPTON, Ga. – The NASCAR Cup Series races at Atlanta Motor Speedway on Sunday evening, so it should come as no surprise that Aric Almirola would lead an armada of Ford drivers in time trials for the Quaker State 400 (7 p.m. ET on USA, NBC Sports App, PRN and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio).

Almirola claimed the fifth Busch Light Pole Award of his career with a lap at 177.346 mph (31.261 seconds), running the fastest lap of the day in the final round of time trials.

Almirola edged Team Penske driver Ryan Blaney (177.266 mph) by 0.035 seconds for the top starting spot in Sunday’s race, as Ford drivers claimed the first six positions on the grid. In March, Ford’s grabbed the top-eight starting spots.

Corey Heim started on the pole and finished with his second victory of the year in Saturday’s O’Reilly Auto Parts 150 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course.

What happened between the green flag and the checkered flag was pure chaos.

In a race that started in a deluge and ended in bright sunshine, cars were spinning like tops on a Skittles Board and landing in gravel traps that required tow trucks to pull them to freedom.

RELATED: Race results | At-track photos

Teammates collided at the front of the field, and frequent contact between trucks produced 10 cautions for 23 of the 67 laps and stretched the race from a projected two hours 17 minutes to nearly four hours.

But in the end, the best truck won. Heim powered his No. 11 Tricon Garage Toyota past Ty Majeski on Lap 42 and held the top spot for the final 26 laps to claim his first-ever road course victory at the 2.258-mile, 13-turn circuit.

Heim beat reigning series champion Zane Smith to the finish line by 0.947 seconds as Smith had to settle for the runner-up spot for the second straight year.

“It’s just unbelievable,” Heim said. “We came here with high expectations. I felt like I did a good job last year of staying up front, but I put in the work to go from being a third-place truck to a winning truck.

“This thing was good ever since we unloaded. I felt like we were the fastest truck in practice, qualified on the pole, of course, and came here and won the race. It’s just awesome. Hats off to everybody.”

Smith had to start from the rear of the field after his team made repairs to the transmission in his No. 38 Ford. He sustained minor damage to the truck while charging forward through heavy traffic.

“Yeah, brutal to finish second here again,” Smith said. “Such a fun road course. Our (truck) lacked turn, especially on the right-handers, all day long and struggled in first gear. Some things to improve on, but I just felt like we needed a little bit more.

“I don’t know how much our damage here was slowing us down, but those things happen when you start in the back. Frustrating to finish second again, but our road course program has been outstanding.”

Winless drivers immediately above and below the playoff bubble remained closely bunched, with Stewart Friesen finishing fourth, Matt Crafton sixth, Matt DiBenedetto eighth and Nick Sanchez ninth.

Ben Rhodes won the first stage, and ThorSport Racing teammate Majeski took the second, but their two Fords collided and slid off-course on Lap 43 while running second and third behind Heim. Rhodes recovered to finish fifth, and Majeski salvaged a seventh-place result.

Christian Eckes, a two-time winner this year, ran a solid race and came home third behind Smith.

Just two races remain in the regular season for the Craftsman Truck Series. The circuit shifts to the “Tricky Triangle” of Pocono Raceway on July 22 (noon ET, FS1, MRN, SiriusXM NASCAR radio).

Note: Post-race inspection concluded without issue, confirming Corey Heim as the race winner.

Chase Elliott’s journey to the NASCAR Playoffs continues to dominate the top story lines down the Cup Series regular-season stretch — and for good reason.

The 2020 Cup champion and five-time defending most popular driver has never missed NASCAR’s postseason in each of his seven full-time seasons since making the jump to the sport’s top level in 2016. Eight races remain in the regular season, including Sunday’s feature at Elliott’s home track of Atlanta Motor Speedway (7 p.m. ET, USA Network, PRN, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio, NBC Sports App). Heading into Hampton, Georgia, Elliott sits 24th in points, 55 markers beneath the elimination line, separating the 16-driver playoff field from those who miss out.

MORE: Cup standings | See the latest Playoff Watch

This time last year, Elliott was in the midst of an extraordinary run in which he finished first or second in five consecutive races, producing three wins that helped inch him closer to the regular-season championship. And while that’s nice to reflect on, last year’s debut season of the Next Gen vehicle meant teams were still adapting to the new cars. As more data became available, Elliott’s competition closed the gap, a trend that he says continued into 2023.

“We had a good summer stretch, but a lot has changed since then too,” Elliott said during a media teleconference Thursday. “And I think a lot changed really last fall. When we started running not as good there in the fall, I think personally, the setups and just the direction that the garage area went in was a pretty large departure from what we had success with through the early stages of the season and through those summer months.

“Changes with the tire and all kinds of little things that I think added up, and we, the group and me personally as a driver, just (were) not doing very well with that. And I think some of those same struggles have rolled over into this season too.”

The genesis of Elliott’s points predicament stems, of course, from the seven races he has missed in 2023 — six due to a broken leg suffered in a March snowboarding accident and one due to suspension. But there are plenty of reasons for fans of the No. 9 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet to be optimistic as NASCAR crests into the second half of the 2023 season. In 11 starts, Elliott has scored five top-five finishes and seven top 10s, including three straight top fives and four in the last five races.

“I feel like the good news is we’ve been trending in a good direction,” Elliott said. “And I feel like the areas that I’ve struggled in, I’ve made a little progress over the last month or so. And we’ve had some solid runs at tracks that I was expecting to remind me more of our struggles last year.

“I feel like we’ve been executing races at a high level over the last month or so, which I think is a really, really good thing. And I think our team is in a really good place. We just need a little bit of pace. And I’ve been saying that over the last couple of weeks. But I think a lot of that falls on me to extract that pace to know in the early stages of the event or even in our short practice session to say, ‘hey, I need this and this to go better.’

“I think all those things are on me and to make sure that I’m giving the information that needs to be given to help lead our team in a better direction in those crucial moments.”

Up next is Atlanta, which Elliott conquered for the first time last summer in a thrilling battle against Corey LaJoie. That triumph carries significant weight for Elliott one year later and is bound to for quite a while to come.

“It was a very special race for me,” said Elliott, son of 1988 Cup champion and NASCAR Hall of Famer Bill Elliott. “I think any time any driver who over the course of their career has had the privilege of not only racing at their home track or a place that they grew up racing at in some capacity, but then to go and win? Yeah, it was a really big deal for me.

“I spent a ton of time at AMS as a kid on the quarter mile and racing down there so I thought it was super cool. That’s something that I’ll always, always remember and hope I can add to that and hope we can have a run like we had a year ago. But yeah, it was a special, special moment, one I’m very proud of. And I hope we can do it again. It was a lot of fun. It was a good time. It was really cool to check that box and to add that one to the win column.”

Key things to watch 🔑

Saturday’s session

Fords dominate qualifying on Saturday. Led by an exceptional effort from Aric Almirola, Ford drivers swept the first three rows on the grid, anchored by Almirola’s Stewart-Haas Racing teammate, Kevin Harvick. Harvick is set to make his final start at the venue where he earned his iconic first Cup Series victory in 2001. Breaking up the Ford focus was Ty Gibbs in seventh and Kyle Larson in eighth, each in two very different scenarios heading into this weekend. Gibbs is still searching for his first career win while Larson aims for his third of the season — and to shake his misfortune on superspeedways. With no practice on the docket, a short session was implemented after qualifying for drivers and teams to get familiar with the new pit-road procedures going into effect on Sunday. | Read the full lineup, qualifying recap

Big story line

It’s time to make a playoff push. And no, that’s not a drafting pun. Drivers still needing a win to secure their ticket to the NASCAR Playoffs are simply running out of time. Sunday’s race at Atlanta is the first in a key seven-race stretch before the regular-season finale at Daytona International Speedway — and we know, you don’t want to have that pressure at one of the most difficult and unpredictable tracks on the circuit. While the new superspeedway-style revamping of Atlanta, with loads of passing and on-track action, makes it seem like a wild-card race, history suggests the opposite. In the three races since the reconfiguration and repave, the driver who has led the most laps has won all three times. So qualifying and early success in Stage 1 could be another key indicator of which driver will come out on top. But expect the underdogs to be hungrier than ever. | Check out the current playoff outlook

History tells us…

Chase Elliott will be a factor. Georgia native Elliott won at Atlanta last July and finished top seven in his other start on the new configuration (missed March 2023 due to broken leg). The Hendrick Motorsports driver has also won two of the last six races on drafting tracks, making him the only repeat winner in the last 14 races on the track type. Elliott and the No. 9 team head into Georgia on a scorching streak of three consecutive top-five finishes. Still on the outside looking in from a playoff perspective, their points surge up the standings has been exceptional. But expect them to be fully focused to punch their ticket this weekend with their first trip to Victory Lane this season.

He may not be the betting favorite to win, but watch out for…

Corey LaJoie. The Spire Motorsports driver has had incredible success on the new layout, with two top-five finishes and one finish of 21st tainted by an unfortunate wreck while racing for the win on the final lap last season. Building on his success here in March, resulting in a fourth-place finish, LaJoie should be in the mix to capitalize on a rare opportunity for him to reach Victory Lane. And despite his track record, he sits mid-pack with 35-1 opening odds, according to DraftKings — a reasonable pickup for fantasy and if you’re looking to claim your stake on a driver lower on the board. If you’re not convinced LaJoie is your man, take a look at Austin Hill. Hill is a back-to-back Atlanta winner in the Xfinity Series and has a chance to complete the trifecta on Saturday before strapping into the Cup Series car on Sunday. His opening line is 55-1.

🔮 Advance to Victory Lane: Racing Insights projects Sunday’s finishing order

Posted on by Official NASCAR Release

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – Fans can now secure their tickets for the 66th running of the Daytona 500 at Daytona International Speedway, the track announced Friday. NASCAR’s 2024 season opener is set for Feb. 18, capping off Speedweeks presented by AdventHealth.

“The 2023 Daytona 500 kicked off a historic NASCAR season with great fanfare, entertainment and excitement,” said Frank Kelleher, President of Daytona International Speedway. “We’re thrilled to build off that energy as we prepare to welcome fans back for the 2024 Daytona 500.”

BUY TICKETS: See the 2024 Daytona 500 live!

Fans are encouraged to secure their tickets now to be a part of history at The Great American Race, as tickets have been selling out earlier each year. The track announced a sellout of grandstand tickets in mid-January for the 2023 edition of the race.

Limited hospitality options remain, including spots in 31 Degrees – an area that debuted with the 2023 Daytona 500 and is located mere feet from the 31-degree banking of Turn 1. The area includes sight lines of pit-out and the famed front trioval, as well as premium bar and food and a souvenir gift.

Additionally, fans looking to take in all the excitement of Speedweeks presented by AdventHealth may purchase four-day packages to make sure they don’t miss a minute of the action. For those still hoping to camp at DIS, there are a limited number of campsites remaining in the West Lot, located outside Turn 2.

The season opener of NASCAR’s 75th Anniversary was the longest Daytona 500 in NASCAR history, as Ricky Stenhouse Jr. took the checkered flag after two overtimes, snapping a streak of 199 races without winning.

NASCAR will also be back at Daytona International Speedway one more time in 2023, for the Coke Zero Sugar 400 weekend on Aug. 25-26, with tickets still available.

Drivers in the NASCAR Xfinity Series will tackle the 2.5-mile trioval once again in the Wawa 250 powered by Coca-Cola on Friday, Aug. 25. Then, on Saturday Aug. 26, the NASCAR Cup Series returns to Daytona in the final race of the regular season, the Coke Zero Sugar 400.

Fans are encouraged to reserve their place at the 2024 Daytona 500 by logging onto Daytona500.com or by calling 1-800-PITSHOP. Tickets may be purchased for the Coke Zero Sugar 400 race weekend at daytonainternationalspeedway.com.
