In a recent interview, Riley Herbst shared his thoughts on the upcoming NASCAR Cup Series race in Atlanta, shedding light on the track's unique characteristics. When asked about the new right-side tire, Herbst remained cautious, stating, 'No, that’s above my pay grade.' However, he acknowledged the tire's impact, noting that 'Atlanta continues to wear, so that’s cool.'
Herbst's comments come after NASCAR legend Kevin Harvick praised the Atlanta track, calling it 'the coolest race on the schedule.' Harvick's enthusiasm stems from the track's ability to challenge drivers, making it 'super intriguing to watch.' But what does this mean for Riley Herbst?
