The NASCAR Cup Series will move from the Daytona International Speedway to the Atlanta Motor Speedway for the Ambetter Health 400 on Sunday, February 25 at 3 p.m. ET. The race marks the end of the trifecta in Georgia, following the Craftsman Truck Series' Fr8 208 and the Xfinity Series' RAPTOR King of Tough 250.

All eyes will be on William Byron as he aims to replicate a feat not seen since 2009 by winning the first two races of the regular season. Byron, who won the Daytona 500 in a tight finish against teammate Alex Bowman, celebrated the victory by visiting the Empire State Building. He will be carrying momentum from his previous win at the Atlanta Motor Speedway's Quaker State 400 last July.

As the race approaches, the spotlight will also be on drivers like Harrison Burton, Austin Dillon, Joey Logano, and defending champion Ryan Blaney, who did not finish the Daytona 500 due to accidents. Logano, the winner of the Ambetter Health 400 in March last year, will look to redeem himself in the upcoming race.

With the track boasting names like Richard Petty, Dale Earnhardt, Bobby Labonte, and Jimmie Johnson as four-time winners, active driver Brad Keselowski will also be a contender with two previous wins in the race.

As NASCAR fans eagerly anticipate the race, Fox Weather predicts a sunny day in Hampton, Georgia with a pleasant temperature of 63 degrees to complement the thrilling on-track action. Viewers can catch all the excitement as it unfolds live on Fox.
