Josh Williams sends terrifying message as NASCAR Barometer: Joey Logano Dominates Atlanta

Only five laps were run under caution in the first two stages, leaving the drivers and pit crews free to decide the battle on track. The three Penske teammates generally held the upper hand, though. Brad Keselowski moved his Ford into the lead on lap 209 and went on to lead 47 laps in a battle between himself and the Penske teammates. Ultimately, moves from the cars behind Keselowski jumbled the order on the final lap, leaving Logano with a head full of steam that he carried through to the checkered flag. The win was the first of the season for the defending champion and the first for Ford.

Momentum from success can give teams a boost, but road course racing is an entirely different animal than superspeedway racing. That could mean a quick return to dominance for Chevrolet, especially considering the manufacturer has won both races held at the track.
