Brad Keselowski drives his Mustang to victory lane at Atlanta Motor Speedway
Brad Keselowski recovered from a stomach virus in time to win Sunday's NASCAR Cup race at Atlanta Motor Speedway.
Team Penske started the day with a replacement driver on standby for Keselowski because the bug that hit him late Friday night kept him out of the car for a portion of final practice.
Keselowski received intravenous fluids in the track's infield medical centre and vowed to complete all 500 miles.
The win is the first points victory for Ford's new Mustang and came a week after the manufacturer was locked out of a podium finish at the Daytona 500.
Martin Truex Jr. finished second in a rebound from his disappointing debut with Joe Gibbs Racing.
Kurt Busch was third in a Chevrolet for Chip Ganassi Racing.
