The first Atlanta Motor Speedway race saw William Byron come through as the winner after an amazing race. The Hendrick driver started 12th and steered his Chevrolet Camaro into the lead and made it through a late-race collision between Kyle Buscher, Justin Haley, Bubba Wallace, and a few other cars.
But, this is not the last race on the Atlanta Motor Speedway. We have another race here later in July. On top of the race, the track will also feature a music festival. And, the headliner is none other than rapper Flo Rida!
In conjuction with its July NASCAR weekend, Atlanta Motor Speedway will host a music festival. Flo Rida is the headliner.
