In its eighth race as a drafting track, EchoPark Speedway, formerly known as Atlanta Motor Speedway, hosted the biggest crash at a track not including Daytona or Talladega, involving 23 cars.

HAMPTON, Ga. -- One of the biggest crashes of the entire 2025 NASCAR Cup Series season happened Saturday night at EchoPark Speedway in Atlanta, as over 20 cars were involved in a massive crash that broke out on a restart. The crash involved over half of the 40-car field, and put nine cars either behind the wall or out of the race entirely.

The debut of NASCAR’s In-Season Challenge in Saturday night’s Cup Series race in Atlanta has generated differing opinions and expectations from drivers.
