HAMPTON, Ga. - As the Cup Series prepares to return to Atlanta with the upcoming race, all eyes are on Stewart-Haas Racing following their performance last week at Daytona. With drivers Noah Gragson and Chase Briscoe finishing inside the top 10, the team is gearing up for the next challenge at Atlanta Motor Speedway.

Stewart-Haas Racing struggled in Atlanta last season, with none of their drivers achieving a top 15 finish. Chase Briscoe fared the best with a 24th place finish in the spring race, while Aric Almirola crossed the line 18th in the summer race. Team owner Tony Stewart expressed dissatisfaction with the team's past performances, emphasizing the need for improvement.

Following their winless season last year and limited success in 2022, Stewart-Haas Racing is focused on delivering better and more consistent results. The team's revamped lineup, featuring drivers like Briscoe, Preece, Gragson, and Josh Berry, highlights their commitment to enhancing performance on the track.

However, Stewart-Haas Racing faces a potential setback as NASCAR recently confiscated roof rail deflectors from the cars of Gragson and Preece. Any penalties resulting from this evaluation process, including potential points deductions, will be disclosed next week, adding an additional layer of uncertainty for the team moving forward.
