Joey Logano dominated the race at Atlanta, winning from pole position with a last-lap pass on former teammate Brad Keselowski. It is the first win at Atlanta for the Team Penske driver, who started on pole and led the most laps (140) in the race. This is the first win of the season for Logano, and the 32nd of his career.
Keselowski nearly ended his 66-race winless streak, but he was not able to block both lanes of traffic on the final lap, and Logano was able to clear him on the outside lane, where he had all of the momentum coming to the checkered flag. It was another step of progression for the RFK Racing co-owner, who has led laps in every race this season.
Christopher Bell had one of the fastest cars on Sunday, and pushed Logano to the win on the final lap. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver finished 3rd, leading the charge for Toyota. Corey LaJoie finished a career-best 4th place, and was the top-finishing Chevrolet driver. Tyler Reddick, who was not feeling well before the race, rounded out the top-five for 23XI Racing.
The biggest moment in the race came when Ross Chastain got into the rear of race leader Kevin Harvick with 70 laps remaining. Harvick spun in front of the pack and quickly saw his chance to win disappear. There were 12 cars involved in the incident, with Harvick, Chris Buescher, and Harrison Burton all unable to continue. William Byron, winner of the last two races, was also collected and his chance for a three-peat was gone.
Kyle Larson found himself on the bad side of lady luck again this weekend. The Hendrick Motorsports driver was running in 2nd with 51 laps to go when race leader Aric Almirola blew a right-rear tire. Larson had nowhere to go and crashed hard into the outside wall, finishing 31st.
