Briscoe won the Pole for Daytona 500 of the last week and then became fourth before Nascar announced on Wednesday that the inspection found that Briscoe used a modified spoiler on Toyota No. 19 in time procedures. Joe Gibbs Racing was docked 100 driver/owner points and 10 playoff points and was fined with a fine of $ 100,000. The crew boss James Small was also suspended for four races.

Small still coordinates Briscoe's plan for the race on Sunday, as the team brings in the devastating punishments. Briscoe had a negative 67 points and fell from 10th to 39th in the overall ranking.

“You know that if we don't win the appeal, they somehow used up their mulligans,” said Briscoe.

Brisco recognized “I was amazed” on Wednesday before he realized that he had to contact the Atlanta race with the same goal for his Toyota No. 19.

William Byron rose from ninth place in the last round of extension to win the Daytona 500 and to give the Hendrick Motorsports driver a repeat victory in the greatest race of sport.

Daniel Suarez won in Atlanta last February and displaced Blaney and Kyle Busch in Atlantas Engster Finish. Suarez defeated Blaney only 0.003 seconds, the closest edge on a 1.5 mile route.

Logano won the second race of Atlanta last year at the Nascar playoffs kick -off.

Briscoe qualified in his Toyota in 25th place. Suarez will start 29th place.

Josh Berry qualified as third place when Ford drivers made 10 of the top 11 places in the line -up. Kyle Busch qualified in his Chevrolet sixth for Richard Childress Racing.

Chase Elliott, who won his home route in Atlanta in 2022, opened this season with the winning of the Clash. Byron will start on the 16th, Kyle Larson will be 17th and Elliott 19. As the drivers from Hendrick Motorsports are looking for a third win in a row to start the season.

The last year in which a team won the Clash, and the first two points races were in 1997 when Jeff Gordon from Hendrick Motorsports won the first three races.

Ryan Preece, who will start the 11th century, said after a creepy crash in Daytona, in which his Ford No. 60 turned into the air. It was the second time that his car in Daytona was after another terrible accident in 2023, which gave him two black eyes the following week.

Preece had no black eyes on Saturday, but said he hoped that he was no more afraid.

“I'm joking with my wife that I'm just like a cat with nine life,” said Preece. “You don't want to use all nine.”

Martin Truex Jr., who retired from the full-time race after last season and took 500 38. The strip started at the Daytona 500 2006.

Logano now holds the longest active start series in the cup. Atlanta is his 578th race in a row.

Despite the lengthy rain delay, Nascar celebrated his TV win for Daytona 500 of the past week. With an average of 6.8 million viewers, the Daytona 500 show received a household assessment of 3.42.

The rating ruled the rain cover during the delay of more than three hours. Nascar was glad that the rain delay cover was an average of 4.95 million viewers, and if they had classified as a separate event as the number 2 of the week after only the Daytona 500.

Blaney and Logano are listed as co-favorites (+1000) to win the race per BetmGM sports width.
