The manufacturer was one position shy of winning the Daytona 500 and Ford drivers led 122 of the 212-laps. Keselowski and Buescher were the top lap leaders, combining for 74 laps.Chris GraythenEven before Atlanta was reconfigured, the 1.540-mile track was conducive to good Ford performances due to its long, sweeping turns and short straightaways.
