NASCAR's Sprint Cup Race In Atlanta Smallest In Nearly 20 Years

NASCAR today had its "smallest Sprint Cup field in nearly 20 years" when the Folds of Honor 500 began at Atlanta Motor Speedway. Only 39 cars started the race in NASCAR's "new 40-car maximum field, cut from 43." The most recent race without a full field came in June '14, when 42 cars "started the race at Kentucky." The last time a Sprint Cup race started with fewer than 40 cars was September '96, when an event at North Wilkesboro Speedway "was limited to 37 cars" (ESPN.com, 2/27).
