Chase Elliott passed Brad Keselowski on the final lap and held on for a win in the Atlanta NASCAR race, his home race, on June 28.
Elliott was one of only four drivers who was not involved in a crash in the action-packed Quaker State 400 at EchoPark Raceway.
The Dawsonville, Georgia native, led 39 laps earlier in the race before rejoining the leaders in the final five laps and passing Keselowski, who led for 45 laps, at the end.
Elliott secured a spot in the playoffs by claiming his first victory since April 14, 2024 at Texas. It was Elliott’s 20th career Cup victory.
Keselowski finished second and Alex Bowman was third followed by Tyler Reddick and Erik Jones.
There were 45 lead changes and 10 cautions during the race.
