NASCAR: Winners And Losers From Atlanta

With a near caution-free race at Atlanta, fans got a look at some old-school NASCAR racing. Who were some winners and losers from the second race of the season?

The Folds of Honor QuikTrip 500 had many question marks connected to it before the green flag dropped. How would the new low downforce package impact the drivers and their cars? Would Kyle Busch be able to get back into the action after having to start from the back? Would the rookies be able to improve on a rather dismal Daytona 500?

All of that and more unfolded on Sunday afternoon as Jimmie Johnson was able to hold Kevin Harvick and Kyle Busch off en route to his fifth win at Atlanta.

The low downforce package played in the favor of many of the drivers as the race was more competitive than expected. Kyle Busch was able to push his way back to the front before finishing in second place and Chase Elliott had a much better showing, finishing eighth.

One of the biggest stories of the day was the race going 209 laps before seeing a caution, and only seeing two more after that. The lack of cautions led to some great racing where strategy played out in many circumstances.

So what were some of the high and low points at Atlanta?
