Atlanta Agony: DiBenedetto Struggles to 35th in Focused Health 250

Atlanta Motor Speedway presented a tough challenge for Matt DiBenedetto in the Focused Health 250, as he struggled with a car that didn’t have the handling or speed necessary to compete at the front. After a promising start to the weekend, things quickly took a turn, with Matt finishing in a disappointing 35th place.

Early in the race, Matt reported issues with the car’s balance, and despite several adjustments during pit stops, the handling issues persisted. The team worked tirelessly to make changes, but Matt found himself fighting an uphill battle all day. A late-race incident sealed his fate, resulting in heavy damage and a finish outside the top 30.

“Some days, it just doesn’t go your way,” Matt said after the race. “We couldn’t get the car dialed in, and then we got caught up in that wreck. It’s frustrating, but we’ll move on and keep working. Huge thanks to ReMA for their support—we’ll bounce back.”

While Atlanta didn’t provide the result they hoped for, Matt and his team are eager to put it behind them and focus on the next race.
