Brad Keselowski has been suffering from a stomach bug, which caused Austin Cindric to practice the No. 2 AutoTrader Ford Mustang for a good portion of final Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series practice on Saturday.

NASCAR has cleared Keselowski to race in Sunday’s Folds of Honor QuikTrip 500 at Atlanta Motor Speedway and according to the driver he took two IVs in the infield care center on Sunday morning.

Finished my 2nd IV and feeling ready to run the distance today @amsupdates

Feeling really good about our car.

Keselowski will look to run the full distance, but if need be Austin Cindric will stay in the No. 2 team’s pit area just in case Keselowski needs relief.
