History
[edit]
The track had previously always held one Busch/Nationwide/Xfinity Series race, but in 2021, when the NASCAR Cup Series got a second race at Atlanta for the first time since 2010, this Xfinity Series race was added to the schedule on the same weekend in July as the new Cup Series race.[2] Credit Karma held the naming rights to the race that year.[3] In 2022, Alsco replaced Credit Karma as the title sponsor.[4] When the start times for all of NASCAR's events were announced, the 2023 event will become a Saturday night event to coincide with the track's second Cup race returning to a nighttime event.
