The 2017 Active Pest Control 200 was the second stock car race of the 2017 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series and the ninth iteration of the event. The race was held on Saturday, March 4, 2017, in Hampton, Georgia at Atlanta Motor Speedway, a 1.54 miles (2.48 km) permanent asphalt quad-oval intermediate speedway. The race took the scheduled 130 laps to complete. At race's end, Christopher Bell, driving for Kyle Busch Motorsports, would defend the field on a restart with two to go to complete a dominant performance for the race and secure a win. The win was Bell's third career NASCAR Camping World Truck Series win and his first of the season.[1] To fill out the podium, Matt Crafton of ThorSport Racing and Johnny Sauter of GMS Racing would finish second and third, respectively.

Background

[edit]
The layout of Atlanta Motor Speedway, the venue where the race was held.

Atlanta Motor Speedway (formerly Atlanta International Raceway) is a track in Hampton, Georgia, 20 miles (32 km) south of Atlanta. It is a 1.54-mile (2.48 km) quad-oval track with a seating capacity of 111,000. It opened in 1960 as a 1.5-mile (2.4 km) standard oval. In 1994, 46 condominiums were built over the northeastern side of the track. In 1997, to standardize the track with Speedway Motorsports' other two 1.5-mile (2.4 km) ovals, the entire track was almost completely rebuilt. The frontstretch and backstretch were swapped, and the configuration of the track was changed from oval to quad-oval. The project made the track one of the fastest on the NASCAR circuit.

Christopher Bell of Kyle Busch Motorsports would win the pole, setting a lap of 30.643 and an average speed of 180.922 miles per hour (291.166 km/h) in the second round.[8]
