NASCAR at Atlanta results: Daniel Suarez wins thrilling Ambetter Health 400 in second-closest Cup finish ever

HAMPTON, Ga. — In a frenetic final lap at the end of the most competitive race in Atlanta Motor Speedway history, Daniel Suarez prevailed in a three-wide photo finish to win the Ambetter Health 400, beating Ryan Blaney and Kyle Busch to the finish line by mere inches. Suarez’s second career win comes by virtue of the second-closest finish in the history of the NASCAR Cup Series, with a mere .003 separating Suarez and Blaney and just .007 seconds separating Suarez from Busch in third.

Blaney led at the white flag and was driving defensively with half a lap to go when Busch made a daring move to his outside, using a push from Bubba Wallace to create a hole in the middle of three-wide just as Suarez got a run to Blaney’s outside. The three drivers spent the final corner three-wide, with none of them breaking away from each other before Suarez prevailed narrowly at the finish line.
