NASCAR 2022 at Atlanta: Updated practice schedule for Saturday at the Folds of Honor QuikTrip 500 at Atlanta Motor Speedway

NASCAR has rescheduled all the practice sessions that were expected to kick-off on Friday, March 18, at Atlanta Motor Speedway. The suspension of on-track activities has been due to inconducive weather in the Hampton, Georgia area.

The racing weekend was supposed to start on Friday with all three national series practices. The Truck series was the one opening the track at 3:05 pm ET, followed by Xfinity Series, which was expected to kick-off at 4:05 pm ET. After that, the Cup Series would take over at 5:05 pm ET for 50 minutes before closing the tracks.

Due to heavy rain on the tracks before the cars were unloaded from the haulers, however, all practice sessions were postponed to Saturday. Though the time and date have changed, the alignment remains intact. On Twitter, Bob Pockrass updated the change in the weekend schedule stating that:

Schedule for Saturday is practice at the times they were scheduled for qualifying ... Truck practice at 10:40a, Xfinity practice at 11:40a, Cup practice at 12:40p with then truck green at 2:48p and Xfinity green at 5:18p
