LEFFLER ON ATLANTA MOTOR
SPEEDWAY:
“I always look forward to
racing at Atlanta. It’s
super fast and wide with
multiple grooves that allows
for a lot of side by side
racing. You will have two
and three wide racing for
most of the race which makes
it great for the fans. What
I like the most about it is
that you have your pick of
lines to run, so if your car
isn’t handling well in one
groove you can move around
and find a line that better
suits the way your car is
handling. Atlanta Motor
Speedway provides some of
the best racing of the
season and that has been
proven over and over by some
of the exciting finishes we
have seen there over the
years. We had a really great
car last weekend in Las
Vegas and although our day
was cut way too short by an
accident, I had enough time
during practice to see that
we should be strong again
this coming weekend in
Atlanta as well. If we can
make it without incident
until the end of the race, I
think we will be a strong
contender.”
