When the stars of NASCAR duel on Atlanta Motor Speedway’s high banks this summer, the race will carry higher, never-before-seen stakes.

The Quaker State 400 Available at Walmart on Saturday night, June 28, will not only be a pivotal event for drivers competing to race their way into NASCAR playoffs or bolster their championship hopes; the event will also be the first in 32 drivers’ quest to win $1 million in NASCAR’s first-ever In-Season Tournament.

The field of 32 drivers in contention for the $1 million prize and their seeding will be set based on the results of the NASCAR Cup Series events in Michigan, Mexico City, and Pocono. These drivers will then compete over the course of five races – starting with the Quaker State 400 in Atlanta – in head-to-head, bracket-style elimination matchups to determine who will be the inaugural winner of the NASCAR In-Season Tournament.

The first event at AMS will feature 16 head-to-head matchups at one of the series’ wildest and most intense tracks. Based on the results of the race in Atlanta, 16 drivers will be eliminated from the tournament and only 16 will remain in contention for the grand prize heading to the next event in Chicago.

The added intrigue of the tournament matchups will unfold amongst some of the fastest and most awe-inspiring racing NASCAR has to offer. Fresh off another tantalizing event that saw a track record 50 lead changes in NASCAR’s spring visit to AMS in February, fans expect to see another thrilling affair under the lights on Saturday night, June 28.

Tickets and camping accommodations for the June 26-28 Quaker State 400 Available at Walmart NASCAR weekend are available at www.AtlantaMotorSpeedway.com.
