The Bennett Transportation and Logistics 250 is in full swing with all eyes on No. 02 Jesse Love of Richard Childress Racing. This morning, Love held strong as he fought with teammate No. 21 Austin Hill to lead the charge during qualifying at Atlanta Motorspeedway.
It almost seemed like a repeat of last weekend’s Feb. 15 on-track battle with Hill. The two teammates fought for the lead in stages 1 and 2 in Daytona, which ultimately went to Hill. However, Love would reach the checkered flag in overtime before a multi-car collision
.It was a historic moment in NASCAR history, marking him as the second youngest, alongside William Byron in 2017, to win the Daytona race. A disappointed Hill initially vied for his fourth consecutive win at Daytona but sadly finished P17. Will he be able to pull himself together for the Bennett Transportation Logistics 250?
It seems today’s race will be different, with Austin Hill dead-set on pulling himself out of the Daytona abyss. Tune into the CW Network at 4:59 pm EST to catch the Bennett Transportation and Logistics 250 as drivers are given the command to start engines!

Final Thoughts
The Bennett Transportation and Logistics 250 will be an action-packed thrill this afternoon as Austin Hill vies for the win that eluded him in Daytona. The 1.54-mile quad-oval track at Atlanta Motorspeedway is one of the more challenging because of its high speeds, configurations, steeper-than-average banking, and reduced length.
Yet, Hill has had no problem navigating the track and dominating teammate Jesse Love. As he prepares to lead the field of 38, does his P1 qualification predict the outcome of tonight’s Xfinity Series race? Stay tuned for more information on the on-track battle as it unfolds.
