Who won NASCAR today? Ambetter Heath 400 results from Atlanta on Sunday
Daytona Motor Mouths podcast for Feb. 21: Daytona 500 recap
The boys are back and talking all things from a Speedweek that would never end as well as looking forward to Race No. 2 at Atlanta.
Talk about an encore…
Those who thought the Daytona 500, and its added day thanks to Mother Nature, was exciting, must have been wowed by Sunday’s race at Atlanta Motor Speedway, which offered one of the best and closest finishes in the history of NASCAR. In the end, Daniel Suarez prevailed by just 0.003 seconds over Ryan Blaney and 0.007 seconds over third-place Kyle Busch in one of the most remarkable photo finishes in the history of auto racing.
It marked the second Cup Series win of Suarez’s career after he claimed victory at Sonoma in 2022. It also locked Suarez into the Cup Series playoffs and gave Chevrolet its second win in as many races this season with William Byron scoring the victory in the Daytona 500 last week.
Atlanta was yet another race full of crashes and calamity. Here’s a look at the final results:

2 arrested in deadly drive-by shooting of 7-year-old Atlanta girl, police say
Two suspects in a shooting that left a 7-year-old Atlanta girl dead and her mother injured are now in custody nearly a week after the violence, police say.
The shooting happened around 9:45 p.m. on Feb. 24 at a home on the 2200 block of Tiger Flowers Drive NW.
Investigators believe the shooting stemmed from a dispute between one of the victim’s family members and the gunman over the phone. Thirty minutes after the argument, the suspect came back and fired shots into the home, police said.
Officers responding to the scene found a 44-year-old woman and her daughter, identified as 7-year-old Zoe Price, shot. Medics rushed the pair to a local hospital, but Price died from her injuries.
Atlanta Police Chief Darin Schierbaum said the department’s homicide unit secured an arrest warrant for 19-year-old Preston Smith two days after the shooting. Smith turned himself in to the Fulton County Jail on March 2.
Schierbaum said officers executed a search warrant on Feb. 27 at a home on McDaniel Street. On that day, 17-year-old Steven Richardson, who police described as an “accomplice,” turned himself in to authorities.
Both men are charged with murder, criminal attempt to commit murder, three counts of aggravated assault, second-degree criminal damage to property, possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, and four counts of third-degree cruelty to children. Richardson is also charged with possession of a Firearm by a Person Under 18.
At a press conference to announce the arrests, Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens described Price as a bright and compassionate little girl who was “full of energy and full of joy.”
“Her life was cut short in an act of senseless violence, and that loss is not abstract. It is a chair that is going to be missing at the dinner table each night. It is an empty classroom seat next to her friends,” Dickens said.
The mayor called the arrests “a step forward towards justice” for Price’s family and families across the city.
Dickens said that violence, like the act that took Price’s life, would not be tolerated in Atlanta.

Atlanta Braves News: Top 30 Prospects, Starting Pitching Depth, More
On Monday, the Braves were able to earn another Spring Training victory over the Detroit Tigers. It was a game where the starting pitching depth of the Braves was on full display, as Bryce Elder, Joey Wentz, and Owen Murphy all threw multiple innings. While it is likely unwise to expect big things from any of these three arms this season, they are a part of the “next man up” group for the Braves if injury again impacts the rotation. Each had a solid effort today, a trend that will hopefully continue.
