Busch was racing side-by-side with Edwards with just over a lap to go when a multicar accident erupted behind them. The field was immediately frozen. NASCAR reviewed its scoring data to determine who was out front at the time of the caution, and Busch was awarded the win. Matt Kenseth ran third, followed by Kurt Busch in fourth and David Ragan.

Kyle Busch is the Sprint Cup Series points leader by 182 points over Dale Earnhardt Junior.
