Brad Keselowski was stricken with a stomach illness over the weekend that minimized his practice runs and required IV fluids Sunday morning. But that didn’t prevent the Team Penske driver from earning his 28th career Cup victory in Atlanta in the Series’ first race with the new 2019 rules package.
Keselowski held off Martin Truex Jr. in the closing laps after taking the lead from teammate Joey Logano with 27 laps to go. It was Keselowski’s second win at Atlanta and 60th overall win in the top three NASCAR Series with Team Penske, making him the organization’s most successful driver.
Kurt Busch finished third, Kevin Harvick fourth and Clint Bowyer fifth. Kyle Busch came home sixth, Erik Jones seventh, Aric Almirola eighth, Chris Buescher ninth and Daniel Suarez 10th.
