Atlanta Motor Speedway has been selected as a contender for Best NASCAR Track in the latest 10Best Readers' Choice travel award contest, promoted by USA TODAY. The contest asks fans to vote online for which track offers the best fan experience.

Fans interested in voting in the contest can do so once per day for the track of their choice by visiting http://www.10best.com/awards/travel/best-nascar-track-2017/ until Monday, July 17 at 11:59 a.m. The winners will be announced on 10Best on Friday, July 21 at 12 p.m., and later on USA TODAY.

Of the almost 30 tracks under official NASCAR jurisdiction, an expert panel narrowed the nominations down to 20, determining that Atlanta Motor Speedway was qualified to be part of the competition. Atlanta Motor Speedway boasts one of the most historic and well-known tracks on the circuit and is popular among fans and drivers alike.

Atlanta Motor Speedway's 1.54-mile oval, which underwent its last repave in 1997, is a favorite among many competitors due to its challenging nature. The iconic, aged surface, slick conditions, and multiple racing grooves offers a unique challenge for drivers, who have to maneuver slick corners and fast straightaways, and has produced several of NASCAR's most iconic races and closest finishes to date.

NASCAR will be making its return to Atlanta Motor Speedway the weekend of February 23-25, 2018, featuring Saturday's XFINITY Series and Camping World Truck Series same-day doubleheader, as well as Sunday's Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series Folds of Honor QuikTrip 500.
