Download Episode 7 (Atlanta)
The NASCAR Cup Series’ West Coast Swing is over and Episode 7 of the Playing the Odds NASCAR Style podcast takes you to Atlanta Motor Speedway for the 2021 Folds of Honor Quik Trip 500. Paul and JJ discuss the Phoenix race, where Martin Truex, Jr. is the latest driver to lock up his postseason berth after a big win. Did the Instacart 500 entertain the guys as much as the Vegas race?
Fords took home the hardware here the last four years after Jimmie Johnson went back-to-back in 2015 & 2016. But will they make it 5? Atlanta’s rough track can separate the experienced drivers from the novices, especially when it comes to tire management. How do tires and this week’s 550-horsepower, high downforce package affect the handicap?
