This weekend, the NASCAR Xfinity Series takes on the high banks of Atlanta Motor Speedway for the Alsco Uniforms 250 for some superspeedway action.

Austin Hill won the spring race at Atlanta earlier this year after a restart with 2 to go which saw Daniel Hemric make contact with both Hill and Parker Kligerman, who then spun across the line taking Riley Herbst and Justin Haley with him.

There are 39 cars entered into the event, with only 38 making the field. UPDATE: CHAD FINCHUM AND MBM MOTORSPORTS HAS WITTHDRAWEN. 38 CARS WILL RACE
