The ratings for the NASCAR Cup Series Ambetter Health 400 at Atlanta Motor Speedway have been revealed. Per Adam Stern of the Sports Business Journal, 4.586 million viewers watched the race on FOX, a one percent increase from last year. Stern also mentioned that the race was the most-watched sports event of the weekend in the U.S.

In the Ambetter Health 400, Christopher Bell won the race in overtime. Bell was leading in the final lap before a wreck occurred during overtime which triggered a caution. After the race, Bell spoke to FOX about winning the race after starting 32nd.

“I’ll tell you what, that right there is what you dream of, to be able to restart on the first or second row in a green/white checkered in a speedway. You never know how those things are going to play out, but I’ll be the first to tell you, I love superspeedways,” Bell said while laughing.

“This style of racing has just always been a little bit of a struggle for me, and throughout the beginning of the day we obviously were just stuck way in the back. Adam and these boys back here, they did an amazing job getting this thing fixed up to where I could just hold my foot down. That’s what it’s all about. You have to be able to stay in the throttle, and that last half of the race we were at our best.”

While Christopher Bell celebrated his win at Atlanta, Carson Hocevar had interesting discussions with Ross Chastain and Ryan Blaney when the race ended. Hocevar finished second at Atlanta but received some heat for his aggressive driving. Chastain, Blaney and Kyle Busch made it known that they didn’t like what the young driver was doing on the track.

After the race, Hocevar was asked what Chastain and Blaney said to him. “I’ll just leave those to myself, but first off, apologies to [Kyle] Larson and (Hendrick Motorsports), (Rick Hendrick) everybody,” he said. “They help us out a lot, and I didn’t realize we weren’t racing back to the line. The last two nights were kind of that way. I hit the 20 to get him out of the way and fill the middle. A little bit longer, maybe we win the race.”
