What to Watch for: Elliott Sadler tries to build on his standings lead after finishing fourth at Daytona. He sits three points ahead of second-place Darrell Wallace Jr. … Atlanta native Brandon Jones makes his first NASCAR XFINITY Series start at the 1.54-mile track after placing seventh at Daytona. … Pre-season Sunoco Rookie of the Year favorite Erik Jones attempts to rebound from his 31st-place finish at Daytona. … If a full-time XFINITY Series driver wins at Atlanta, he will virtually earn a berth in the NASCAR XFINITY Series Chase playoffs.
