Daniel Suárez, Ryan Blaney and Kyle Busch put their gas pedals to the floor as they led the pack to the start-finish line during the Ambetter Health 400 at Atlanta Motor Speedway on Sunday night.
All three drivers appeared to cross the line at the same time. Suárez took the outside lane, Busch tried to shoot the gap in the middle and Blaney sought to maintain the lead from the inside.

Suárez was declared the winner by 0.003 seconds.
“It was so damn close, man. It was so damn close,” Suárez told FOX’s Regan Smith. “It was good racing. Ryan Blaney there, Kyle Busch, Austin Cindric was also doing a great job giving me a push. On the back straightaway, he didn’t give me a push because he knew I was going to pass his teammate. Man, what a job.”
Blaney finished second and Busch finished third. Cindric finished in fourth and Bubba Wallace was in fifth.
Suárez and Wallace were among those in the massive wreck on Lap 2.
Atlanta Motor Speedway saw one of its biggest wrecks in the history of the track. Fourteen cars were caught up in the accident just as the pack crossed the start-finish line. It appeared that Todd Gilliland checked up, and it caused an accordion effect on the outside lane.
