NASCAR | Brad Keselowski grabs late lead, holds on to win Quik Trip 500 in Atlanta

Keselowski has notched two Atlanta victories in the last three years, finishing no worse than second overall during this prolific span.

ATLANTA — The Folds of Honor/Quik Trip 500 was primarily a two-man race in the final minutes, with Brad Keselowski and Martin Truex Jr. vying for the checked flag.

Keselowski emerged as Sunday's winner at Atlanta Motor Speedway, collecting his second Atlanta victory in three years.

In fact, Keselowski hasn't finished any worse than second for this race since 2017, eclipsing the recent dominance of last year's champion, Kevin Harvick.

Speaking of success begetting success ...

Of the previous six MONSTER Energy Cup races, Keselowski has seized the checkered flag a staggering four times – including three straight victories in Darlington, Indianapolis and Las Vegas (last fall).

Kyle Larson took honors with Stage 1 and was the only racer to lead for 100-plus laps.

Harvick emerged as the Stage 2 winner, thanks to a late push.

Unofficially, Dawsonville native Chase Elliott finished 19th, but there appears to be some dispute about the punitive measure that occurred after Stage 2, putting him toward the back of the 37-driver field.
