The starting lineup for Sunday’s NASCAR Cup Series race at Atlanta Motor Speedway was set by applying the statistical formula NASCAR has been using for most of its 2021 race.
The starting positions of the drivers for the Honors QuickTrip 500 (3 pm ET; Fox, TSN, PRN, SeriousXM NASCAR Radio) were based on four factors:
- Driver’s finishing position from last race (25 percent)
- Car owner’s finishing position from last race (25 percent)
- Team owner ranking (35 percent)
- Fastest lap from the previous race (15 percent)
Below is the starting lineup for Sunday’s NASCAR race at the 1.5-mile track in Atlanta, which was set without qualification.
