IIRC, the Xfinity Series (then Busch Grand National) did races in 86 and 87 at Road Atlanta with I believe Morgan Sheppard and DW taking the wins. Trucks ran there at least once in the late 90s or early 2000s as well.

Cup tests at Road Atlanta multiple times a year and no testing at tracks used during the season so teams will likely push for not racing there. AMS will also fight any attempt to place race there, they already have had troubles keeping 2 races.
If you want to watch stockcars at Road Atlanta come up for HSR, either Mitty or Fall Historics. Some retired guys named Bill and Joe run often and the other drivers aren't bad, last season had 20 some cars on track.
It was K&N East that ran at Petit weekend, they ran so well the race took half of the scheduled time because no cautions were needed.

I don't think it would all bad cause they are doing a few years then leaving, which I can't tell if NASCAR is testing waters everywhere or this is becoming their MO; don't tick everyone off, but try to please some here at this track and then leave do some over there at another track. But if given the choice; agree. Nope!
Ditto to Mitty and K&N. Both are fun, just wish some of the more "classic" cars could run and maybe have the K&N start coming regularly.
