At EchoPark Speedway (Atlanta), the field of 32 was cut in half as NASCAR's five-week in-season challenge officially got underway. Even with the expected chaos of a drafting track, no one expected a 23-car pileup that would help the No. 32 and No. 31 seeds defeat the No. 1 and No. 2 seeds.
There are many underdogs left while big names will be forced to sit on the sidelines for the rest of the competition. No fan can win the $1 million prize, as literally every bracket was busted at Atlanta, but one of the remaining 16 drivers will still go on to collect $1 million for themselves.
