Straightaway banking will remain five degrees. In addition to the new high banks, the racing surface will become narrower with an overall decrease in width from 55 feet to 40 feet. New widths will be 52 feet on the front stretch, 42 feet on the back stretch and 40 feet in the turns.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThe project will pave the way for a bold new era of NASCAR racing in Atlanta.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cAs Atlanta\u2019s racing surface has aged, we\u2019ve challenged ourselves to reimagine what NASCAR racing at an intermediate track can be,\u201d said Speedway Motorsports President and CEO Marcus Smith. \u201cWith high banks in the turns, narrower width and new pavement technology, Atlanta will be unlike any other mile-and-a-half track on the circuit. It\u2019s all new for \u201922 and this will be specifically designed for close, competitive racing.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThe reconfiguration of Atlanta Motor Speedway is the latest innovative first from Speedway Motorsports, which has repeatedly redefined what\u2019s possible in NASCAR. From the debut of the ROVAL\u2122 at Charlotte Motor Speedway, to the first NASCAR Cup Series race held on dirt since 1970 at Bristol Motor Speedway and NASCAR\u2019s first trip to Circuit of The Americas earlier this year, Speedway Motorsports has been a driving force behind many of NASCAR\u2019s most highly-anticipated events.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nConstruction is slated to begin the week following the July 11 Quaker State 400 Presented by Walmart, with the next generation Atlanta Motor Speedway making its debut in 2022 in conjunction with NASCAR\u2019s Next Gen car.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cOur partners at Speedway Motorsports have reprofiled Atlanta Motor Speedway to optimize the racing with the Next Gen car, and early simulations suggest the racing will be closer and even more competitive,\u201d said Steve O\u2019Donnell, NASCAR Executive Vice President and Chief Racing Development Officer. \u201cFrom the Charlotte ROVAL\u2122 to the Bristol Dirt Race and now a re-imagined Atlanta, Marcus Smith and his team continue to take bold, innovative steps to bring unique and exciting racing experiences to our fans.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThroughout the development process, Speedway Motorsports has partnered with iRacing to test and verify concepts for the future Atlanta Motor Speedway. The world-renowned motorsports simulator not only provided a virtual rendering of each concept, but also provided key data on how NASCAR\u2019s Next Gen car will perform on the reconfigured 1.54-mile oval.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cFlexing the muscles of our virtual track-building capabilities to prototype Speedway Motorsport\u2019s vision for Atlanta Motor Speedway has been a fun and exciting process,\u201d said iRacing Executive Vice President and Executive Producer Steve Myers. \u201cFrom one concept to the next, we\u2019ve seen the future of AMS take shape; all without moving a shovel of dirt in the real world.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThe current asphalt at AMS is the oldest racing surface the NASCAR Cup Series will visit in 2021. Since its last repave in 1997, the speedway has hosted 38 NASCAR Cup Series races, 24 NASCAR Xfinity Series races, 20 Camping World Truck Series races, 10 ARCA Series races, four IndyCar Series races on its 1.54-mile oval plus countless U.S. Legends and Bandolero car races on its frontstretch quarter-mile \u201cThunder Ring.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\nAMS has played host to some of NASCAR\u2019s most memorable moments on the current surface, including Dale Earnhardt&#8217;s 0.010-second margin of victory over Bobby Labonte in 2000, Kevin Harvick&#8217;s emotional and record-setting 0.006-second margin of victory over Jeff Gordon in Earnhardt&#8217;s Richard Childress Racing car the following year, Carl Edwards last-lap pass on Jimmie Johnson to earn his first Cup Series victory in 2005, and a legendary battle to the checkers between Gordon and Johnson in 2011.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;Our operations staff has done everything possible to extend the life of our racing surface, and as a result fans have enjoyed some historic moments and fantastic finishes at Atlanta,\u201d said AMS Executive Vice President and General Manager Brandon Hutchison. \u201cWhile this asphalt cannot outlast Father Time, the memories of the great racing will last forever. NASCAR\u2019s best will have one more chance to add to the legacy of this surface with a grand finale at the Quaker State 400 Presented by Walmart on July 11.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThe NASCAR Xfinity Series gets the first crack at Atlanta\u2019s slick and abrasive track surface during the Credit Karma Money 250 on Saturday, July 10. The weekend is headlined by the Quaker State 400 Presented by Walmart on Sunday, July 11, with Chase Elliott, Kevin Harvick, Ryan Blaney, and the rest of the NASCAR Cup Series\u2019 stars battling for glory.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nFor more information or to purchase tickets to the July 10-11 Quaker State 400 Presented by Walmart weekend, visit <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.AtlantaMotorSpeedway.com&amp;esheet=52455862&amp;newsitemid=20210706005698&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=www.AtlantaMotorSpeedway.com&amp;index=1&amp;md5=e5dd637718b8b7866f98b0453a962aaf\">www.AtlantaMotorSpeedway.com<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n<p><b>About the Quaker State 400 Presented by Walmart:<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nThe July 11 Quaker State 400 Presented by Walmart will be the first NASCAR Cup Series race held at Atlanta Motor Speedway in July since 1974.
