It started with Keselowski, who is in his second year as owner-driver at RFK Racing. Reddick looked to earn his first victory with his new team.LaJoie was focused on winning his first Cup race.Logano sought a win in a season that Fords have had few chances to do so.Bell looked to score his third win in the last nine Cup races, which would have been more than any other driver in that span.Keselowski sought to end a 66-race winless streak that stretches nearly two years.So much was at stake over the final 1.54 miles and would be determined in the next 30 seconds on a brisk day at a track that looks like an intermediate speedway but races like Daytona and Talladega. Joey Logano ran third, with Corey LaJoie on his rear bumper in fourth, and Tyler Reddick beside LaJoie in fifth. As they began the final lap of Sunday’s Cup race at Atlanta Motor Speedway, Brad Keselowski led Christopher Bell by a car length.
Kyle Larson - Larson fought the good fight with the more dominant Fords much of the day in the top 10, but his car was damaged in a crash with Aric Almirola.
He lost control of his car in tight racing with Ross Chastain and hit the wall. Kevin Harvick - From one instant to the next, Harvick fell from first place to out of the race. William Byron - Byron’s two-race winning streak ended with a thud - literally - Sunday as he was involved in a multi-car crash and finished 32nd. He finished third and has been in the top six in four of the season’s five races.Ĭorey LaJoie - Sunday’s fourth-place run was LaJoie’s best in 205 Cup starts, and his smart start to the season is an indication that better things might be ahead. He led 47 laps Sunday and was on the verge of victory.Ĭhristopher Bell - With better organization from the Toyotas at the front, Bell would have had a shot at a win. 32.īrad Keselowski - Keselowski’s struggle to return RFK Racing to prominence has taken many months, but he has had impressive runs this year. He changed that statistical column in a big way, leading 140 laps and making a risky move around leader Brad Keselowski on the final lap to record win No. Joey Logano - Logano had won 31 Cup Series races entering Sunday’s 400-miler, but none had come at Atlanta.
