Rinnai 250 from Atlanta: Watch NASCAR XFINITY Series online
By Phil Naegely
The NASCAR XFINITY Series is running for the second straight week. Find out how to watch the Rinnai 250 from Atlanta Motor Speedway below.
The NASCAR XFINITY Series had a wild weekend in Daytona last week. It was an exciting race filled with multiple crashes. Hopefully, the Rinnai 250 keeps the same amount of excitement but with more drivers finishing the race. That should be the case as racing at Atlanta Motor Speedway is different than Daytona International Speedway.
Atlanta is always an interesting race weekend to follow. Like Daytona International Speedway, it’s one of the few tracks to host all three series in the same weekend. This year the XFINITY Series race takes place on Saturday with the Truck Series race taking place almost immediately following its conclusion.
The Rinnai 250 will be run hours after the drivers qualify. It will be a long day for XFINITY Series drivers who look to improve from last week’s race filled with contact. Many of the incidents were caused by rustiness and mental errors. With the first race under their belts, drivers should be improved mentally, which will help the quality of racing improve even more.

Stage lengths at Atlanta Motor Speedway will be interesting to see. It’s the first intermediate track of the season. Race strategy will be interesting to see especially during the cautions between the stages. Most likely drivers won’t pit as much as they did during the stage cautions at Daytona International Speedway. As a result, tires wear and tear could affect how aggressive drivers compete during the race.
