This race was dominated by accidents both involving single cars and multiple cars. Each green flag run averaged almost 20 laps while more than 21% of the race would be held under a caution flag. Kevin Harvick would dominate a good portion of the race while
Jeff Gordon had a reasonable chance to win the race between laps 378 and 384.
Scott Speed was the last-place finisher of the race due to a crash on lap 7. Despite
Paul Menard's awful finish, he was the last driver to finish the race without any mechanical issues.
Juan Pablo Montoya's 15th-place finish and
Marcos Ambrose's 21st-place finish were respectable finishes for the token foreigners in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series. Each finisher was given a different amount of money as his/her individual winnings. These winnings were given out in addition to the driver's weekly salary as a part of a multi-car team. While Kevin Harvick received $256,736 for his valiant effort ($ when considering inflation), last-place driver Scott Speed received a meager $66,860 ($ when considering inflation).
