Share your thoughts on racing at Atlanta Motor Speedway.

Atlanta (Motor Speedway) has been a great race track for us the last few years. The asphalt is really worn out, and the speed of the car changes a lot from the start of a run to the finish of the run. It makes for some good racing as the cars start moving around and sliding around the track. - Kevin Harvick

Many drivers say the asphalt at Atlanta Motor Speedway is really worn out, and they like it that way. Do you agree?

Absolutely. You want the asphalt to be worn out. I don't know why so many tracks keep repaving without any rocks in them. Rocks wear the tires out and everyone likes to watch the cars slide around when the tires fall off. - Kevin Harvick
