The 66th Daytona 500 is all set to rev up the Cup schedule on February 18, followed by a much-anticipated return to Atlanta. For the first time since 2019, Atlanta Motor Speedway has grabbed the second spot on the circuit, a position it held from 2015 to 2019. This year, it takes over from Auto Club Speedway, which is currently under the knife for renovations.
Reflecting on the shift, Kennedy mused, “I think now that we’ve seen Atlanta play out and how the racing product has frankly evolved there,” I think now that we’ve seen Atlanta play out and how the racing product has frankly evolved there.”

The moment the post hit Twitter, NASCAR fans were quick to jump in with their two cents. The video sparked a flurry of comments. While some fans turned it into a playful guessing game, others were on a mission to uncover the real story.
One fan, taking a shot in the dark, joked, “Gonna make it a one-entrance track to “improve the fan product,” lol.” Meanwhile, those in the dark pleaded for some inside scoop: “C’mon tell us what’s going on. We only have 2 months until it’s racing time!” and “May I ask what are y’all doing?”
Another fan, speculating about some entrance revamp, chimed in, “Trying to make easier to concentrate all fans into one entrance so it will take hours to stand in line and get in. Make it more inconvenient than already is. Hoping fans will arrive hours earlier, to get in line earlier, so that can get in 3 hours before start, and start buying.”

Then there was the fan who wondered if this was a disgruntled employee’s handiwork: “Did someone not get their Christmas Bonus?” And not missing a chance for a witty jab at this year’s race, another added, “That’s what I felt like doing in July when it sprinkled on the track and you called the race. #Nascar.” So, what’s your take on this cryptic clip?
