2008 Atlanta Motor Speedway NASCAR Schedule Released
HAMPTON, Ga. (Sept. 26, 2007) -- NASCAR fans will once again have two opportunities to see the fastest racing in NASCAR at Atlanta Motor Speedway in 2008. Track officials announced the 2008 event schedule which includes two NASCAR race weekends, March 7-9 and October 24-26.
The March race weekend starts the 2008 season with a NASCAR triple-header. Friday night gets the weekend cranked up with the fastest qualifying session in NASCAR when the stars of NEXTEL Cup series attempt to top the speed charts under the cloak of darkness during a nighttime qualifying session.
Qualifying will be immediately followed by a 200-mile NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race. Saturday features a mixture of NASCAR newcomers and seasoned veterans as they battle for 300-miles in the Nicorette 300 NASCAR Busch Series race. On Sunday, NASCAR's elite drivers will try and tame the Atlanta Motor Speedway for 500 miles in the Kobalt Tools 500 NEXTEL Cup Series race.
For the fall event at AMS, fans will get another weekend packed full of action. Friday night will feature NASCAR NEXTEL Cup qualifying under the lights and Saturday brings the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series back for what is sure to be a thrilling race. Sunday caps off the weekend with the 500 miles of NASCAR NEXTEL Cup side-by-side racing.
