NASCAR Quaker State 400 Picks, Preview, Odds

The much-anticipated NASCAR playoffs begin at Atlanta Motor Speedway on Sunday afternoon with the Quaker State 400.

Sixteen drivers begin their quest at the crown with 10 races remaining in the season, culminating with the championship in Phoenix on November 10.

Michael McDowell won the pole for Sunday's race as he sits at 12/1 odds to capture the checkered flag. Four drivers are listed at 10/1 odds, including Ryan Blaney, Joey Logano, Brad Keselowski, and Kyle Busch.

The first race in Atlanta this season was captured by Daniel Suarez in late February as he won the Ambetter Health 400, finishing ahead of Blaney and Busch.

In last year's edition of the Quaker State 400, William Byron picked up his second career win in Atlanta but finished 17th in the first race in Atlanta earlier this season.

Kyle Larson has never won in Atlanta, while placing 30th or worse in four of the past five races at this track since 2022.
