NASCAR’s Attempt to Hype Ford’s Early Atlanta Domination Leaves Racing Fanbase Divided

The results of the qualification race for the Quaker State 400 at Atlanta Motor Speedway were quite unique, to say the very least. Do you know why? This time, the domination was transparent. It wasn’t just about the team who is dominating, but the car that the drivers will be driving. Yes, we are talking about the Ford Mustangs, who haven’t had a lot of luck recently. 

NASCAR tried hyping up the Ford domination with a Twitter post where they asked which Ford driver out of Ryan Blaney, Kevin Harvick, Joey Logano, and Brad Keselowski, will have the best finish at Atlanta. Fans reacted differently and picked their favorite racer. But in addition to Ford’s domination, a very interesting team domination was also seen in the qualification race results. 

How the Scales Tipped for the Ford Drivers at Cup Series Race in Atlanta?

Understanding Ford’s early Atlanta domination is not tough. You can just go and see the qualification’s results, and check out the top 10 drivers. An interesting thing that you will discover is that 8 out of 10 drivers drove Mustangs, including the top six. That’s the Ford domination NASCAR highlighted through their Twitter post. But there’s more to the story. 

In addition to Ford’s domination, there was another early Atlanta team domination. In the top ten spots, Stewart-Haas Racing and Team Penske had 3 drivers each. While Hendrick Motorsports also have their two drivers in the top ten, the presence of 6 cars from Stewart-Haas Racing and Team Penske was surely unexpected.
