NASCAR at Atlanta: See the starting lineup for the Ambetter Health 400 with Michael McDowell on the pole

Following Monday’s rain-delayed Daytona 500 — which William Byron won after some mild controversy from NASCAR officials at the very end — the NASCAR Cup Series is racing at Atlanta Motor Speedway this weekend.

The 2024 Ambetter Health 400 is set for Sunday at 3 p.m. ET on Fox at the 1.54-mile track, and Michael McDowell will start on the pole after having the best performance in qualifying Saturday. It’s the first pole in McDowell’s 17 Cup seasons for his 467th career start, and he edged out Joey Logano to start first.

Here’s a look at the starting lineup for the Ambetter Health 400 at Atlanta Motor Speedway.
