NASCAR start time, TV schedule, starting lineup; Everything to know for Atlanta on Sunday

HAMPTON, Ga. - A new week, a smaller track, a similar style or racing and a chance to match itself for the best start to a season by any organization in NASCAR Cup Series history. 

That's what awaits Hendrick Motorsports on Sunday afternoon. 

Atlanta Motor Speedway awaits, offering another drafting track albeit nearly one mile shorter than last week's - Daytona International Speedway is 2.5 miles around while Atlanta is 1.54. After William Byron's win in the DAYTONA 500 last week, Hendrick Motorsports has started 2025 with two victories with Chase Elliott also claiming the Clash on Feb. 2. Only once has an organization won the Clash and the season's first two points-paying events: Hendrick Motorsports in 1997. 

The good news? There's every reason to believe the organization's four entries will be plenty capable once again. Byron has won twice at Atlanta since it was its reconfiguration ahead of the 2022 season and Elliott has also added a victory there. Alex Bowman will lead the team in terms of starting position on Sunday as he'll roll off 13th. Bowman finished fifth in the fall race at Atlanta.
