Riding shotgun at Atlanta Motor Speedway with AJ Allmendinger

You want to know why Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series drivers love Atlanta Motor Speedway so much?

Well, Cup driver AJ Allmendinger, who is behind the wheel of the No. 47 JTG Daugherty Racing Chevrolet in today's Folds of Honor QuikTrip 500 at AMS, gave us -- and FOX Sports television analyst Larry McReynolds -- a taste of it before the race on "NASCAR RaceDay."

McReynolds rode shotgun with Allmendinger for a lap around the worn pavement at Atlanta, and you can, too, by simply watching the video above.
