Sprint Cup Series In Atlanta This Weekend

NASCAR's Sprint Cup Series is at the Atlanta Motor Speedway this weekend for Sunday's AdvoCare 500.  There are just two races to go before the start of the Chase.  One year ago, Jeff Gordon overcame a vibration issue late in the race and held off a furious challenge from his Hendrick Motorsports teammate, Jimmie Johnson, during the closing laps to win the AdvoCare 500 at Atlanta.  The race was delayed two days due to Tropical Storm Lee.  Denny Hamlin won last weekend at Bristol to climb into eighth in the Cup Standings.  Greg Biffle holds an 11-point lead over Johnson atop the standings.  Dale Earnhardt Jr., Matt Kenseth and Martin Truex Jr. round out the top-five.  The top 12 drivers advance to compete in the Chase.
