NASCAR’s season continues as the tour returns to the east coast for Atlanta Motor Speedway weekend and it comes with a streak still on the line.
For the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series, the series was off last week but the return to Atlanta Motor Speedway could mark a new winner in 2021. As a number of teams that could win are expected to make waves in the series, the Truck series standings are as tight as could be in the top four positions. John Hunter Nemechek leads the way in the standings with Ben Rhodes right behind in second.
