The 2025 Bennett Transportation & Logistics 250 was the 2nd stock car race of the 2025 NASCAR Xfinity Series, and the 34th iteration of the event. The race was held on Saturday, February 22, 2025, at Atlanta Motor Speedway in Hampton, Georgia, a 1.54 miles (2.48 km) permanent asphalt quad-oval shaped intermediate speedway (with superspeedway rules). The race took the scheduled 163 laps to complete. Austin Hill, driving for Richard Childress Racing, would continue to be an unstoppable force at superspeedways, winning both stages and leading a race-high 146 laps to earn his 11th career NASCAR Xfinity Series win, his first of the season, and his third consecutive win in the first Atlanta race.[8] To fill out the podium, Justin Allgaier, driving for JR Motorsports, and Aric Almirola, driving for Joe Gibbs Racing, would finish 2nd and 3rd, respectively.
Along with his win, Hill tied Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Tony Stewart for the most wins on superspeedways in series history with eight.

Background
Atlanta Motor Speedway is a 1.54-mile race track in Hampton, Georgia, United States, 20 miles (32 km) south of Atlanta. It has annually hosted NASCAR Xfinity Series stock car races since 1992.
The venue was bought by Speedway Motorsports in 1990. In 1994, 46 condominiums were built over the northeastern side of the track. In 1997, to standardize the track with Speedway Motorsports' other two intermediate 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, with a new official length of 1.54-mile (2.48 km) where before it was 1.522-mile (2.449 km). The project made the track one of the fastest on the NASCAR circuit. In July 2021 NASCAR announced that the track would be reprofiled for the 2022 season to have 28 degrees of banking and would be narrowed from 55 to 40 feet which the track claims will turn racing at the track similar to restrictor plate superspeedways. Despite the reprofiling being criticized by drivers, construction began in August 2021 and wrapped up in December 2021.[9][10] The track has seating capacity of 71,000 to 125,000 people depending on the tracks configuration.

Perspective
Qualifying was held on Friday, February 21, at 5:05 PM EST.[11] Since Atlanta Motor Speedway is an intermediate track with superspeedway rules, the qualifying procedure used is a single-car, single-lap system with two rounds. In the first round, drivers have one lap to set a time and determine positions 11-38. The fastest ten drivers from the first round will advance to the second round, and whoever sets the fastest time in Round 2 will win the pole and determine the rest of the starting lineup.[12]
Jesse Love, driving for Richard Childress Racing, would win the pole after advancing from the preliminary round and setting the fastest time in Round 2, with a lap of 31.730, and a speed of 174.724 mph (281.191 km/h).[13]
No drivers would fail to qualify.
