Brad Keselowski outran the flu and Martin Truex, Jr. to come home with the victory on Sunday in the Folds of Honor QuikTrip 500 at Atlanta Motor Speedway.

With Brandon Reed spending the weekend trackside at AMS, he joins Pete McCole and Amy Henderson to take a look back at Georgia's only NASCAR racing weekend, including:

-Keselowski powered to the lead late after other contenders had a myriad of problems.  All this as the racing world got it's first look under racing conditions at the new Cup Series rules package - sort of.

-Hendrick Motorsports 2018 woes appear to have carried over to the early part of this season, with all four teams finishing outside the top 14.

-Jimmie Johnson received some praise from another fellow Cup champion - Kevin Harvick - going into the race weekend.

-Kyle Busch moved closer to 200 wins across the Cup, Xfinity and Truck Series with a with a win in Saturday's Truck race.  Some people feel this is a milestone similar to Richard Petty's 200 wins in Cup alone.  Brandon and Amy disagree - loudly.  We've warned you.

-We preview this weekend's NASCAR action at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
