In an electrifying conclusion to the Ambetter Health 400 at Atlanta Motor Speedway, Daniel Suarez, with odds at +4000, clinched a victory in what has been described as one of the most thrilling finishes in NASCAR history. The race concluded with a three-wide photo finish, with Suarez narrowly edging out competitors by a mere 0.003 seconds, marking the third closest finish in the NASCAR Cup Series to date. This victory is notably Suarez's second career win and his first on an oval track, further distinguished as his first win with new crew chief Matt Swiderski. The margin of victory, the closest at Atlanta Motor Speedway and on a 1.5-mile track, underscores the intense competition and skill demonstrated in the race. Notably, the gap from first to third place was just 0.007 seconds. Suarez's win also breaks a 57-race winless streak, secures his spot in the 2024 NASCAR Cup Series Playoffs, and makes him the first foreign-born driver to win both an oval and road course race in the NASCAR Cup Series. The race's conclusion was met with widespread acclaim, with many considering it among the best finishes in the sport's history.
