"I was able to get to his bumper there and just kind of get him up about half a groove and got up under him," said Harvick, who ran the final 185 laps, including one extra lap because of a green-white-checkered-flag finish, on one tank of fuel."I got him up there once before, and he was able to get back by me on the outside," Harvick said. "I didn't want to wreck him, but I knew it was time to start applying the pressure pretty heavily if I was going to get by in case a caution or something would come out. It just takes a while to complete a pass over another fast vehicle."
Kyle Busch was penalized for a commitment line violation under the final caution which sent him to the back of the field for restart to the green, white, checkered flag finish. Busch finished 17th.
There were 14 cautions for 80 laps and 4 lead changes among 5 drivers:
R. Crawford 1-78; R. Hornaday Jr. 79-94; J. White 95-101; K. Busch 102-240; K. Harvick 241-251.
