HAMPTON – The start times for each race in Atlanta Motor Speedway’s NASCAR doubleheader on February 23 are set.
NASCAR announced Thursday the Rinnai 250 XFINITY Series race will begin at 2 p.m. That same day, the 200-mile Gander Outdoors Truck Series race on the 1.54-mile oval is slated to begin at 4:30 p.m.
The Saturday doubleheader is one of the most unique features of the Folds of Honor QuikTrip 500 weekend at Atlanta Motor Speedway. It’s the only scheduled doubleheader in NASCAR, and one Saturday ticket gets fans into both races.
