Atlanta - Folds of Honor Quiktrip 500 Results

Atlanta - Folds of Honor Quiktrip 500 - Joey Lagano and Kevin Harvick were the dominate cars the first half of the race, but the #48 team worked on the car and dominated the end of the race. Only 10 cautions and long green flag runs with green flag pit stops, left only 12 cars left on the lead. Tire wear was a big issue. Matt Kenseth and his team gambled throughout the race. Having a car he struggled with, the gambling paid off rendering him a 5th place finish. Earnhardt finishing 3rd, had his up and downs also, just couldn't get the speed at the end to challenge Johnson.

Congratulations Jimmie Johnson!!!
