NASCAR Returns to Atlanta Motor Speedway for Ambetter Health 400
This weekend, the Cup Series travels north into Georgia, where drivers will attack the high-speed 1.54-mile Atlanta Motor Speedway. Last year, the Ambetter Health 400 provided the best ending in NASCAR’s history as Daniel Suárez finished millimeters ahead of two different cars to grab his second career victory. See my post on that race from 2024 and how it was connected to the Pixar film Cars, which featured a scene with a very similar triple photo finish.
So far, I’ve had zero success in calling a race winner. I first wagered on Denny Hamlin to win the Clash at Bowman Gray, and Tyler Reddick to win the Daytona 500. However, both of those drivers did finish second in those races, thus guaranteeing I would keep trying until I win.
So what’s my thought process going into this weekend? Well this is the only track NASCAR races on in the state of Georgia, where former U.S. President Jimmy Carter died at the end of last year on the same day as a major plane crash in South Korea. On the same day as the Daytona 500, a South Korean actress died in connection to race winner William Byron. Check out yesterday’s post to learn how.
Chase Elliott
The only driver from any of the chartered teams to have been born in Georgia is Chase Elliott. This stands out, because Chase, whose real name is William Clyde Elliott, drives the #9 car and is a walking riddle connected to Clyde William Tombaugh, the man who discovered Pluto, the 9th planet. The 2024 Ambetter Health 400 was completely synced to the planet Pluto, as my posts explored.
Although it didn’t count as an official victory, Chase placed first at the preseason Clash at Bowman Gray. He earned pole position for that race on February 1st, or 2/1.
His next win will be his 21st in the Cup Series.
Christopher Bell
Christopher Bell earned his most recent victory at the USA Today 301 in New Hampshire last June. Here’s the post I made on that race, which was a riddle for the 2007 double-murder suicide involving pro wrestler Chris Benoit. That incident also occurred in the state of Georgia.
Chase Elliott, who has been sponsored by Georgia’s own NAPA Auto Parts for over a decade, was born on November 28th, or 11/28:
There are actually two drivers named Chase in the field. Chase Briscoe is the other one.
Briscoe was born just one day before Christopher Bell.
1128 is the 47th Triangular number
The mathematics of the circle are resolved with Pi, or 3.14.
Benoit won his first and only World Championship in WWE on March 14th, or 3/14:
Benoit’s big moment happened at WrestleMania 20. Christopher Bell drives the #20 car:
20 × 20 = 400
The race is 400 miles long
Pluto was discovered in 1930:
Notice the discovery date of February 18th, or 18/2. Benoit died in Fayetteville = 182. This will be Christopher Bell’s 182nd Cup race.
The Moon
Benoit’s Title match victory lasted 24:40.
The Ambetter Health 400 will be 244 days after the anniversary of Benoit’s death and 19 days before the Pi Day Eclipse:
Chris Benoit, whose WrestleMania win was 19 years after the first WrestleMania, died on the date leaving 190 days in the year, which also had Primary numerology of 57:
If you play with these digits, we get another connection as 10957 is the 1331st Prime number. Bell = 13 / 31.
19 and 57 are also numbers very important to the Moon.
