A multi-car crash during Stage 2 thinned the field of contenders in Sunday’s NASCAR Cup Series race at Atlanta Motor Speedway.

Contact between Martin Truex Jr. and Ross Chastain — both running among the top five — blocked a portion of the 1.54-mile track through Turn 2, collecting several other cars in their wake. Joey Logano, Austin Dillon, Kyle Larson, Kyle Busch, Christopher Bell, Noah Gragson and Michael McDowell were also snagged behind Truex’s spin.

The crash forced the fourth caution period in the Quaker State 400. Dillon’s No. 3 Chevrolet was the most severely damaged, making hard contact with the outside retaining wall. He was evaluated and released from the infield care center, credited with a 35th-place finish in the 36-car field.

“The hit looked bad, but the impact wasn’t as bad as it looked,” Dillon said, who issued some share of the blame to Chastain in televised interviews after the crash. “I told myself that we were going to race hard all day rather than riding in the back, but when you got guys out there wrecking half the field, you might as well pick a different strategy. These Next Gen cars are hard to drive, and you’ve got to make them drive better when it’s hot outside. I thought we did a good job making my car get to the bottom. We were making a lot of headway in the race before we got caught up in someone else’s mess. We’re going to keep on keeping on, and work each week to get to Victory Lane.”

For their prominent roles in the wreck, Chastain and Truex rallied to lead laps afterward and post respectable finishes. Chastain led three times for 32 total laps, and drove away from a later scrape with rival Denny Hamlin to score a runner-up result. Truex led twice for 27 laps and salvaged 11th place.

“I hate that I took the best car here and I tore it up a couple of times,” Chastain said. “Hats off to Chevrolet and Trackhouse Racing for bringing this fast of a Jockey Chevrolet. Our road crew and our pit crew did an awesome job to rebound through all of the damage repair.”

With one race already under its belt at this circuit, the NASCAR Cup Series returns to the “new” Atlanta Motor Speedway for Sunday’s Quaker State 400 (3 p.m. ET, USA Network).

What was once a very abrasive, intermediate-style race track is now an extremely smooth superspeedway-type layout that provides the pack racing we typically see at Daytona and Talladega.

This results in racing that can be quite unpredictable and allows some longer shots to contend and even cash for bettors.

So with this in mind, here are two bets I’m making for Sunday’s Quaker State 400 at Atlanta.

NASCAR Picks for Atlanta

*Odds as of Sunday morning

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. 50-1 to Win

Our very own Nick Giffen highlighted this as his favorite early bet, and with no practice and qualifying rained out, it’s my top value as well heading into today’s race.

Since Giffen has already done the legwork on this one, there’s no need for me to reinvent the wheel (pun intended).

So, take it away Nick (that means click here to read his analysis)!

But before you place your bet, be sure to shop around to snag Stenhouse at the best number.

His price varies wildly across the market, with Caesars Sportsbook offering an extremely delightful 50-1.

Corey LaJoie (+325) for a Top-10 Finish

LaJoie is the king of minding his own business, keeping his car clean and scoring better-than-expected finishes at superspeedways.

Through three superspeedway races this season (Daytona, Atlanta and Talladega), LaJoie has the fifth-best average finish in the Cup Series.

In fact, if we look back to the start of the 2020 season, LaJoie still has the eighth-best average finish in the series over a much larger sample of 11 races.

He’s not typically the type of driver who will get up front and contend for wins, but there are other ways to extract value from LaJoie.

At +325 (BetMGM), I like backing LaJoie to once again bide his time, stay out of trouble and be in contention for a top-10 finish with the laps winding down at Atlanta

WALL TOWNSHIP, N.J. — Jimmy Blewett is one of the best to ever race at Wall Stadium Speedway.

He reminded everyone of that by topping the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour field in the Jersey Shore 150 on Saturday night at the popular third-mile high-banked oval.

The victory, Blewett’s seventh with the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour and first since 2016, was his 81st victory overall at Wall Stadium Speedway. He ranks second on the all-time win list at the track.

“Tommy and these guys just prepare such a good car. He makes all the drivers who drive this thing look so good,” said Blewett, who was piloting the No. 7NY for team owner Tommy Baldwin Jr. “Just riding, biding our time watching these guys burn it up so we had some stuff there at the end.”

Blewett spent much of the race riding in the top five, content to let pole-sitter Ron Silk and defending track Modified champion Andrew Krause take turns at the front of the field.

A caution for a spin by Eric Goodale with 17 circuits left in the 150-lap event presented Blewett the perfect opportunity to take control of the race.

Restarting second with 13 laps left, Blewett rocketed under Krause to take the lead by the time the field got back to the start/finish line.

Once in front, Blewett inched away from the battle for second, ultimately crossing the finish line nearly two seconds ahead of runner-up finisher Matt Hirschman.

“I want to dedicate this win to my grandfather,” said Blewett, who also won a NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour event at Wall Stadium Speedway in 2007. “He always is my biggest supporter and he never, ever doubts me. He just knows I need the right opportunity to get it done. Thanks, Grandpa.”

The victory by Blewett gave team owner Baldwin his fourth victory of the season with the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour.

Doug Coby drove Baldwin’s No. 7NY to victory at New York’s Riverhead Raceway and New Hampshire’s Lee USA Speedway, and Mike Christopher Jr. earned a victory for Baldwin at Pennsylvania’s Jennerstown Speedway.

Hirschman, a multi-time winner of the annual Turkey Derby event at Wall Stadium Speedway who added Saturday’s race to his schedule at the last minute, snuck past both Krause and Silk to finish second.

“This wasn’t on our schedule, I just knew there was going to be a great crowd here tonight,” Hirschman said. “Glad to come race in front of them tonight. A good run. It’s no surprise there at the end, Jimmy’s first and I’m second. Congrats to them.”

Patrick Emerling also managed to make his way past Krause and Silk in the final laps to complete the podium. It was his second top-five finish this season.

“It was a little rough out there, but had a lot of fun tonight,” Emerling said. “We had a pretty good race car for only running here once before.”

Krause settled for fourth after leading prior to the final restart. Silk faded to fifth after starting from the Mayhew Tools Pole and leading a majority of the race.

Justin Bonsignore, Austin Beers, Jon McKennedy, Blake Barney and Kyle Bonsignore completed the top 10.

A replay of the Jersey Shore 150 can be seen on the USA Network on Friday, July 15 at 6:30 p.m. ET.

The NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour returns to action next Saturday, July 16, for the running of the Whelen 100 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway.

HAMPTON, Ga. — Josh Berry was close. Just not close enough to make a move.

Berry trailed Austin Hill closely in the waning laps, trying to chase down the No. 21 Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet. But as his tires wore down and the field strung out, Berry had to settle for runner-up in Saturday’s NASCAR Xfinity Series Alsco Uniforms 250 at Atlanta Motor Speedway — his fourth top-four finish in the last five races.

RELATED: Official results | At-track photos

“Austin was really good,” Berry told NASCAR.com. “That team has been really good on this style of racing and it was just tough. Right? You just had to time the runs right to get the bottom and he was really strong there. It cooled off a bit and kinda just got trained around the top. Lots of good information for me to go back and watch, learn from. And we’ll see what we can do better next time.”

Berry had a good enough car to pace the front of the field. He led 13 laps throughout the hot summer afternoon, but a pit-road miscue didn’t help the effort in an otherwise clean race.

“We had a really good car and we had a feeling that this race would be a little bit different than what we saw in the spring and I feel like that proved right,” Berry said. “So we prepared well and like I said, had a good day. We had a little slip up on pit road and had to work back from the back to the front, which was, I felt like really impressive, but ultimately that’s probably where we lost a little track position on [Austin Hill].”

Berry finished 33rd in the spring race, crashing out on Lap 153 of 172 — his only DNF of the season.

Saturday’s bounce-back performance served as a confidence booster and reassurance that the No. 8 JR Motorsports team, currently fifth in points, has made big strides down the stretch.

“We are right there with everybody,” Berry said. “On the bread and butter, you know, the intermediates, the short tracks, I think we’re as good as anybody. Obviously, the road racing is something that I’m learning and continuing to get better at. But I have no doubt that we can continue to build and get better and save our best races for the playoffs.”

Radio trouble prevented driver Austin Hill from being able to speak to his Richard Childress Racing crew during the Alsco Uniforms 250 NASCAR Xfinity Series race Saturday afternoon at Atlanta Motor Speedway, but he sure understood the final hand signal.

Number one.

RELATED: Official results | Weekend schedule

The Georgia native, 28, won at his hometown track for the first time in his NASCAR career – holding off JR Motorsports driver Josh Berry by a mere .111-second –the closest Xfinity Series race finish in track history and another fitting number nod to Hill’s finish.

His 73 laps led in the No. 21 RCR Chevrolet was most on the day and the most of his young NASCAR Xfinity Series career.

“Man, look at this crowd, I love the fans,’’ a smiling Hill said, looking toward the loud and enthusiastic grandstands. “What a car. Man, RCR has been working their ever-loving tails off to give me a car that will race really fast.’’

Hill was so impressed and appreciative of the work of his crew, particularly to win on a day it had to overcome a major challenge. He came down pit road on the pace laps once the team realized his radio didn’t work. Hill could hear the crew, but they could not hear him.

Even a new helmet didn’t solve the problem so he spent all of the often-eventful 163 laps around the 1.54-mile speedway listening only. They worked out hand signals for adjustments he wanted during the pit stops.

There were 17 lead changes in the race, but Hill took the lead for good on a restart with 48 laps remaining and held off Berry, Ryan Truex, Daniel Hemric and Tyler Reddick. The front-runners got dicey as expected, but Hill was able to pull away and was never challenged heading to the checkered flag to take his second series victory in 2022.

Truex finished third, followed by Reddick – who became a first-time NASCAR Cup Series winner last week – and reigning Xfinity Series champion Daniel Hemric.

Noah Gragson and his JR Motorsports teammate Justin Allgaier were sixth and seventh, followed by Landon Cassill, Riley Herbst and AJ Allmendinger.

That 10th-place finish marked a solid comeback for Kaulig Racing’s Allmendinger, who led the championship standings by a mere nine points going into the Atlanta race. A tire problem and slow pit stop put him down two laps in Stage 2, and it proved to be a long, challenging day for Allmendinger, who methodically worked his way forward.

At one point, he briefly lost the championship lead to Ty Gibbs. But Gibbs, Saturday’s pole-sitter, had his own problems. Racing hard with Herbst at the front on a restart for the final stage, Gibbs’ No. 54 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota hit the wall hard and suffered enough damage for him to take a DNF.

MORE: Ty Gibbs exits early at Atlanta

A four-race winner, Gibbs went into the race trailing Allmendinger by only nine points, but now he’ll go to New Hampshire for next week’s race 29 points out of the championship lead.

“We had a very fast Supra, we had a good car,’’ Gibbs told PRN Radio. “The 98 slid up and wasn’t clear and hooked us in the left-front. It was hard racing and I just came home on the wrong side of it.’’

The Xfinity Series’ next race is scheduled for next Saturday (5 p.m. ET, USA, NBC Sports App, PRN, SiriusXM) at New Hampshire Motor Speedway.

Note: Inspection was completed in the Xfinity Series garage with no issues, affirming Hill’s victory.

Pole-starter Ty Gibbs exited Saturday’s NASCAR Xfinity Series event early after a mid-race altercation at Atlanta Motor Speedway.

Gibbs’ No. 54 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota sustained right-side damage on the 93rd of a scheduled 163 laps in Saturday’s Alsco Uniforms 250. Riley Herbst’s No. 98 Stewart-Haas Racing Ford washed up into Gibbs’ car from the low groove at the front of the pack, as both lanes began to push forward in a final-stage restart. Gibbs got the worst of the contact between the two black, Monster Energy-sponsored cars, scraping the outside retaining wall and slowing.

Gibbs drove to pit road, but his team indicated that the damage was too severe and instructed him to take the No. 54 Toyota to the garage. Gibbs — a four-time winner in 2022 who won at Atlanta earlier this season — was tagged with his second DNF of the year, finishing 35th in the 38-car field.

“We had a good car and the 98 (Herbst) just slid up and wasn’t clear and hooked us in the left-front and got me in the wall,” Gibbs said after a check at the infield care center. “Just hard racing and came out on the bad side of it. Luckily, happy to walk out of this place on my feet.”

Herbst avoided the wall and continued to a ninth-place finish — his third consecutive top-10 result. He said he intended to talk to Gibbs later in an effort to smooth any tension created by their on-track contact.

“Obviously, I never meant to wreck my good friend, Ty, and obviously Monster Energy teammate,” Herbst told NASCAR.com. “So that was a bummer because the restart before I helped him out quite a bit and pushed him to the lead, and then the caution came out and we re-stacked. The 18 (Ryan Truex) gave me a really good push. … and as soon as I heard clear, I turned my wheel hard to the right. And I think it was a matter of inches — less than inches. I just got into him and that’s on me. I’ll talk to him, give him a call and whatnot. I apologize. Obviously, words don’t mean anything to them at this point because they didn’t finish, but all in all, it sucked.”

In terms of how that conversation might go, Herbst said he hoped to minimize any carry-over from their Atlanta run-in.

“I hope so. I mean, I don’t know. I hope so,” Herbst said. “Like I said, I’ll just talk to him and gauge his temperature.”

Noah Gragson and Sage Karam said that they met with NASCAR officials Saturday at Atlanta Motor Speedway in an effort to put their on-track incident in last weekend’s Xfinity Series race behind them.

The two drivers indicated that they’d shaken hands and come to an understanding in separate interviews with NBC Sports during Saturday’s pre-race coverage at Atlanta. Gragson started sixth with Karam 25th in the Alsco Uniforms 250.

RELATED: Gragson penalized | Weekend schedule

The pair tangled last Saturday at Road America, with Gragson’s No. 9 JR Motorsports Chevrolet making a retaliatory move toward Karam’s Alpha Prime Racing No. 45 Chevy shortly past the midway point of the Henry 180. That ignited a severe multicar crash on the 4.048-mile road course, snaring several drivers in its wake.

Gragson was penalized Wednesday, hit with a $35,000 fine and a 30-point deduction for rough driving that violated the NASCAR Member Code of Conduct. Saturday at Atlanta, the two met and were seen casually chatting during driver introductions.

“It’s good. I’ve got a lot of respect for him and the rest of the guys in the series just being able to talk to him, and I really didn’t know him that much,” Gragson told NBC Sports. “So just getting to understand where he was coming from and kind of the way he was racing and kind of give him my side of the story. But you know, we shook hands and we’re gonna go race hard today and put on a show in the Xfinity Series. … I think last week is behind us and ready to go race hard this weekend.”

“We met this morning and it was actually nice just to get in a room and talk with Noah,” Karam said, who makes his eighth career start Saturday at Atlanta. “You know, I didn’t know him on a personal level, I’ve only known him from on track, but I think it went really well. I think we’ve buried the hatchet and can move forward.

“I think for me, it’s like I’m racing up there up front and getting to race a guy like Noah, who’s very fast. He’s won a lot of races, he’s with a very good team, so you know, I race him hard out of respect. I think that’s a respect thing. I want to beat him and he wants to beat me, but he apologized for the contact on the straightaway. I apologized for maybe rubbing into the door a little bit too much and yeah, it’s all learning experiences for sure.”
