NASCAR Atlanta 2018: Lineup, starting grid for Folds of Honor QuikTrip 500

Brad Keselowski will look to defend his Folds of Honor QuikTrip 500 crown on Sunday afternoon when the 2018 NASCAR season shifts to Atlanta Motor Speedway.

Keselowski will start in fifth position on Sunday, the same position he started in 2017 when he captured the checkered flag. “We won here from fifth last year, so we’re gonna do it again,” he said after qualifying on Friday.

Kyle Busch won the pole position with a qualifying speed of 184.652 mph, looking for an improvement after finishing 25th at the Daytona 500 last weekend. Keselowski finished 32nd in Daytona.

Four-time Folds of Honor QuikTrip 500 winner Jimmie Johnson (2004, 2007, 2015-16) starts in 22nd position on Sunday.

Fox will televise the race from Atlanta on Sunday beginning at 1 p.m. ET, moved up an hour because of the threat of inclement weather. Mike Joy will call the play-by-play with analysts Darrell Waltrip, Jeff Gordon and Larry McReynolds. Gordon has won this race three times (1998, 2003, 2011) and Waltrip won here in 1977.
