Before the Nascar quiktrip 500 began, NASCAR President Steve Phelps shared a message with his drivers as NASCAR honoured George Floyd's death with a moment of silence. While the NASCAR quiktrip 500 did not have any fans watching from the stands, like every other restarted race this season, it was business as usual for the drivers on the track. Chase Elliott started with a bang, leading the first 25 laps with Aric Almirola, Joey Logano, Kevin Harvick and Kyle Busch making the top 5.
However, post restart Logano took the lead before, Kevin Harvick raced to the front at the end of 38 laps. Brad Keselowski faced a penalty for entering the pit road too fast, while John Hunter Nemechek spun out 15 minutes later for the second caution of the day.
The NASCAR points leader over the next fifteen minutes opened up a huge lead over second-placed Kurt Busch, stretching to almost five seconds. However, Bosch responded in fierce style won the race off pit road and had the lead with just four laps to go. However, Kevin Harvick again took lead in the next 30 minutes, with Martin Truex Jr. Kyle Busch, Denny Hamlin and Ryan Blaney behind him.
In the meantime, Martin Truex Jr. registered back to back state wins, with Ryan Blaney and Denny Hamlin behind him.

The Nascar Atlanta results saw Kyle Busch finishing second, Martin Truex Jr. ending up at the third spot.
