Cash in on $10K playing FOX Bet Super 6 NASCAR contest featuring Atlanta

Welcome to Atlanta, where the … racers race? Well, that's not exactly how the song goes, but we'll allow it since NASCAR is heading to the Atlanta Motor Speedway for this weekend's Ambetter Health 400 on FOX.
And Jamie Little — the award-winning FOX Sports NASCAR pit reporter covering both Saturday's Truck Series and Sunday's Cup Series — gave us the inside scoop ahead of the action in the A.
"On Sunday morning, I get there before the garage even opens for all the teams. By the time they get there, the pit road has already been split, so I'll know what cars I have.
"But once I put the headset on, I've got it on for six hours straight. And that's the cool thing about my job. I'm right in the mix, I talk to the drivers first hand — whether they're getting in the car, out of the car or just wrecked."
And when it comes to the coolest moments of covering race day, chatting with first-time winners ranks at the top of the leaderboard for this ARCA Menards Series play-by-play announcer.
"Their raw emotion in that moment when they're climbing out of the car — before anybody else gets to talk to them — is the most exciting and rewarding part of my job."
As a 22-year broadcast veteran in the industry, Jamie Little's big personality weaves through virtually every facet of the thrilling sport. She has covered nine Daytona 500 races and was the first woman ever to cover a televised Supercross and motorcross event.
And here's a nugget you might not find on her impressive resume. Early in Jamie's career, she almost caught on fire covering a race.
"We were wearing fire suits at the time, so things were different," she laughed. "But you have to keep your head on a swivel."
When asked to describe NASCAR in just one word, Jamie quickly commented that it's "ever-changing."
"There are so many story lines for every driver in the field — the things that happen on the track and then their personal lives, too. People care about all of that. Just like the NFL, there's always news.
"And in NASCAR, the rules change, the cars change, the pit crews and the way that they do things changes. It's all changing at such a rapid pace."
And since NASCAR is evolving at record speeds, we're giving you an opportunity to join the ride and win some cash while doing it playing FOX Bet Super 6.

Which of these drivers will have the best finish at the end of the race?
Denny Hamlin, Joey Logano, Martin Truex Jr., Kyle Busch, Kyle Larson, Kevin Harvick

"Larson and Truex are not."
Prediction: Joey Logano
Which manufacturer — Chevrolet or Ford — will have the most cars on the lead lap at the end of Stage 2 and how many will they have?

Prediction: Blaney, 26+

"I'm definitely going with Hendrick. I think that team is going to be really strong."
Prediction: Hendrick Motorsports, 48-54

1-4, 5-8, 9-10, 11-12, 13-14, 15-16, 17-18, 19-20, 21-22, 23+
"It's a toss-up, but I'm going with Ford."
Prediction: Ford, 15-16

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8-10, 11-14, 15+
"Almirola. Aric [Almirola] is really good at this style of racing. Chase [Briscoe] is still such a newbie to NASCAR and to the Cup Series. I could see him getting caught up in a wreck."
Prediction: Almirola, 15+
Jamie sprinkled in some extra insight for spectators getting geared up for Atlanta.
"To me personally, this weekend will be some of the most exciting racing we have. We've only had two races on this track since they repaved it. There's gonna be big packs, big wrecks, and there will be a lot of passes and a lot of lead changes.
"This is all the perfect stuff that people need to watch out for this weekend."
