The NASCAR Cup Series is roaring back to Atlanta Motor Speedway this weekend for the highly anticipated Ambetter Health 400, and if last year’s showdown was any indication, fans are in for a wild ride.
On February 24, 2024, Daniel Suárez pulled off an absolute stunner, snatching victory from the jaws of defeat in one of the most nail-biting finishes the sport has ever seen.
Beating out Ryan Blaney and Kyle Busch by a razor-thin 0.003 seconds, Suárez etched his name into the history books, delivering the fourth-closest finish ever recorded in the NASCAR Cup Series.
