Motor car race


The 2018 Active Pest Control 200 was the second stock car race of the 2018 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series season and the 13th iteration of the event. The race was held on Saturday, February 24, 2018 in Hampton, Georgia at Atlanta Motor Speedway, a 1.54 miles (2.48 km) permanent quad-oval racetrack. The race was extended from 130 laps from 134 due to a NASCAR overtime finish caused by a crash including Josh Reaume.[1] After a costly mistake by Kyle Busch's pit crew before the final restart, Brett Moffitt of Hattori Racing Enterprises would steal and win the race- the first of the season and the 2nd of his career.[2] To complete the podium, Noah Gragson of Kyle Busch Motorsports and Johnny Sauter of GMS Racing would finish 2nd and 3rd, respectively.

Background

The layout of Atlanta Motor Speedway, the venue where the race was held.

Atlanta Motor Speedway (formerly Atlanta International Raceway) is a track in Hampton, Georgia, 20 miles (32 km) south of Atlanta. It is a 1.54-mile (2.48 km) quad-oval track with a seating capacity of 111,000. It opened in 1960 as a 1.5-mile (2.4 km) standard oval. In 1994, 46 condominiums were built over the northeastern side of the track. In 1997, to standardize the track with Speedway Motorsports' other two 1.5-mile (2.4 km) ovals, the entire track was almost completely rebuilt. The frontstretch and backstretch were swapped, and the configuration of the track was changed from oval to quad-oval. The project made the track one of the fastest on the NASCAR circuit.
