JOSH

WILLIAMS

“I’m excited to get back in the No. 16 Cup car this weekend. We’re going back to the scene of the crime, so to say, with the whole ‘Park It’ thing, so hopefully we can have a good finish and park this Alloy Employer Services Camaro ZL1 in the top 10.”

– Josh Williams on Atlanta Motor Speedway

DANIEL

HEMRIC

“I’m looking forward to another superspeedway-style race in Atlanta this week. I’ve personally never ran this NextGen Cup car at Atlanta, but I can remember the last few years watching as a fan and thinking it looked like absolute chaos. I’m excited to be part of that chaos this year and hopefully in the mix in our No. 31 Cirkul Camaro ZL1, just like we were in Daytona.”

– Daniel Hemric on Atlanta Motor Speedway

JOSH

WILLIAMS

“Atlanta used to be one of my favorite tracks on the schedule. Now, it’s obviously become more like a superspeedway, but it still races a bit like a mile-and-a-half track in some ways. I’m looking forward to racing both the Cup and Xfinity cars this weekend.”

– Josh Williams on Atlanta Motor Speedway

No. 11 Alloy Employer Services Chevrolet Camaro

  • Josh Williams has made nine NXS starts at Atlanta Motor Speedway.
  • Williams recorded a top-10 finish in his most-recent start at the track, finishing ninth in July 2023.
AJ

ALLMENDINGER

“We’ve learned a lot since they reconfigured Atlanta. Track position is very critical to stay upfront in the Xfinity car. You can still lose the draft so you need to be upfront. It’s kind of give and take of how much raw speed compared to handling in the car. As the track keeps getting age on it, going through summers and winters, I think it’s going to get even more critical for handling so that’s something we will focus on. Hopefully we’ll stay upfront all day and have a chance to win the race.”

– AJ Allmendinger on Atlanta Motor Speedway

No. 16 Campers Inn RV Chevrolet Camaro

  • AJ Allmendinger has made five NXS starts at Atlanta Motor Speedway.
  • Allmendinger has earned one win, three top five and four top-10 finishes.

SHANE

van GISBERGEN

“Daytona was certainly exciting and I’m glad to get a start under my belt here in 2024. Hopefully we can take some of what we learned on Monday at Daytona and apply it to this weekend in Atlanta. It’s been great working with [crew chief] Bruce [Schlicker] and all the guys on the 97 team so far, and I’m looking forward to seeing what we can do once again on Saturday in our WeatherTech Chevrolet.”

– Shane van Gisbergen on Atlanta Motor Speedway

No. 97 WeatherTech Chevrolet Camaro
