After the cancellation of events including Drift Atlanta due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, the famed Braselton track will reopen with MotoAmerica qualifying.

BRASELTON, Ga. - Masks are required and temperatures will be taken at the front gates, but this weekend fans will return to Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta for MotoAmerica Superbikes at Atlanta.
