The Cup and Xfinity starting lineups will be set Friday at EchoPark Speedway south of Atlanta.
Because the 1.54-mile oval is a drafting track similar to Daytona International Speedway and Talladega Superspeedway, there will be no practice sessions.
This season’s 17th of 33 Xfinity Series races will begin at 7:30 p.m. Austin Hill won the Feb. 22 race at the track with a last-lap pass of Aric Almirola for the lead.
