Kyle Busch believes with the change of the Atlanta track from an intermediate style to superspeedway type will produce a crazy race. The 2 times series champion explained that in the past where some fall-offs prompts a widening gap between the cars upfront and in the rear.

“Atlanta is going to be crazy. It literally got a facelift with a whole new track surface and layout and everything,” Kyle Busch said.

“It’s going to be a different race than what we’ve had there in years past, where you have the old asphalt and really have fast lap times to fire off, and then you have a lot of fall-offs where lap times go down throughout the run. That led to having some guys come up through the field and others drop through the field, whether or not they are fast early in the run or slow late in the run or vice versa,” Kyle Busch added.

Kyle Busch went on to say that he expects the Atlanta track to behave like Daytona or Talladega tracks which produce lo of pack racing and added that he expects two-wide or three wide battles to be fought among the drivers. He went on to add that he will be focused on the Xfinity and Truck Series races on the track before Sunday’s Cup Series race to be more familiar with the track.

“This time around, it’s going to be more like a Daytona or Talladega speedway race. You are going to see a lot of pack racing with some guys two-wide and maybe three-wide, and we’ll have to see how wide the track gets in the time we have on it,” Kyle Busch said.

“Really paying attention and watching some of the Truck Series and Xfinity Series racing earlier in the weekend. It’s going to be helpful to see what we’ll have for Sunday,” Kyle Busch added.
