Week number 2 of the new season is in the books and true to Atlanta style, it proved to be an exciting race. There were a few cautions, some from problems on the track and some from the caution clock.
John Hunter Nemechek scored his second career win, first win of 2016, and youngest person to win a series race at Atlanta. He got the lead very late in the race when Matt Crafton and Daniel Suarez were racing hard for the lead and Suarez was tapped from behind, Suarez then bumped Matt Crafton and the chain reaction began at the very front of the pack leading to many trucks being wrecked and John Hunter Nemechek snaking his way through the trucks crashing all around and taking the lead. After a lengthy caution, the race ended with a green-white-checkered finish and John Hunter victorious.
Even in the wake of a few "bad" looking wrecks, not one driver was kept for observation. All were treated and released at the infield care center.
Congratulations to John Hunter on his win and his berth in the playoffs.
