Atlanta weekend schedule, TV, weather info for NASCAR Cup and Xfinity
It's the second NASCAR race weekend this year for the 1.54-mile speedway south of Atlanta. In the previous visit to the drafting track four months ago, there were two last-lap passes for the win.
Austin Hill won the Xfinity race Feb. 22 by snatching the lead from Aric Almirola. In the Cup race a day later, Christopher Bell won by leading only one lap — passing Kyle Larson for first ahead of the checkered flag.
Saturday will mark the 17th of 33 races for Xfinity this season, and Sunday will bring the 18th of 36 races for Cup in 2025. The Craftsman Truck Series also will race Saturday at Lime Rock Park in Connecticut (1 p.m. ET, Fox).

Look: Cincinnati Reds unveil NASCAR-inspired uniforms for Speedway Classic
Get ready to rev your engines, Cincinnati. The Cincinnati Reds are gearing up to face the Atlanta Braves for the 2025 MLB Speedway Classic at Bristol Motor Speedway in Tennessee on Aug. 2. Since the teams will be playing on an actual motor speedway, it only makes sense that the Reds would rock NASCAR-inspired jerseys. The team released their exclusive threads on social media on Monday. The white jerseys are adorned with a checkered flag pattern and NASCAR-inspired numbers. Reds catcher Tyler Stephenson already gave a preview of what he'll be wearing during the matchup (hint: think "shake and bake"). "I was just like, 'Talladega Nights.' I have to have it," said Stephenson, who quickly reached out to his equipment company to see if it could be done. 'And they loved the idea. It's an unbelievable movie, so…" Stephenson had the name "Tyler Robby" inscribed on his movie-themed chest protector for the Speedway Classic. The back of his chest protector strap also includes the famous Ricky Bobby (played by Will Ferrell) line, "If you ain't first, you're last."

Cincinnati Reds' latest on Hunter Greene, Rhett Lowder, Carson Spiers
WASHINGTON – A few updates and observations on the Cincinnati Reds pitching depth as we stare intently at team president Nick Krall and general manager Brad Meador for any signal they might be about to land the left-hander they need for the bullpen: More: Why Cincinnati Reds (and Mets) believe they can end the drought of the century Look: Cincinnati Reds unveil NASCAR-inspired uniforms for Speedway Classic Hunter Greene Greene, the Reds' Opening Day starter has pitched just three times since a Grade 1 groin strain first sidelined him May 7, but he could be back on track for a return to the mound in two or three weeks, barring another setback. Greene was to start a minor-league rehab assignment July 23 with a two-inning start for the Reds' Arizona Complex League rookie club, then travel to Omaha to join Triple-A Louisville for at least a couple more rehab starts. Manager Terry Francona had no projected timeline or prescribed number of rehab starts to offer as the team opened a three-game series in Washington this week. 'We just want him to be OK,' he said. Two starts for Louisville could mean a return sometime during the Aug. 7-10 road series against the Pirates, barring setback, for Greene (4-3, 2.72 ERA,, 11 starts). Rhett Lowder The talented young right-hander, who dazzled during a six-start debut last season (1.17 ERA), was finally cleared to start playing catch this week after being shut down almost two months since suffering a severe oblique strain while on a rehab assignment following a forearm strain. It's a long shot that Lowder is able to return and help the Reds down the stretch, but the team isn't ruling it out. 'It's one of the things we don't want to do,' Francona said. 'Even if he doesn't pitch for us, we want him to prepare, because, one, maybe he pitches for us, but, two, if he (doesn't and) goes home, he can have a semi-normal winter.' Carson Spiers The right-hander who opened the season in the rotation as the club waited out the slow-played buildup of Andrew Abbott underwent an MRI on Monday for the biceps soreness that prompted his rehab assignment to be paused over the weekend. Results were not immediately available. Spiers, a valuable swingman over the past year, has been on the IL since April 20 because of a shoulder impingement.
