On the Lap 12 restart, Kyle Busch takes the green, with Brian Scott right on his bumper and both cleared the lapped traffic quickly.

On Lap 14, Kyle Busch leads Brian Scott by 0.833 seconds and Scott Speed in third by over a second.

On Lap 16, Kevin Harvick in the No. 2 Camping World Chevrolet Silverado truck running in sixth catches up to Erik Darnell in fifth. The two battled it out for two laps, with Harvick finally passing Darnell down on the low side.

On Lap 19, Terry Cook in the No. 59 Team ASE/Harris Trucking Toyota Tundra truck would also pass Erik Darnell for sixth and has been running well since joining Harris Motorsports with eight races left. 

On Lap 20, Kyle Busch would lead Brian Scott in second by 1.5 seconds. Meanwhile Johnny Benson was running twentieth, with Ron Hornaday's truck still being feverishly repaired in the garage area and it looks promising as Hornaday would climb back into the truck.

On Lap 26, Kyle Busch leads now by two seconds over Brian Scott in second. Kevin Harvick in fifth, starts to pressure Brad Keselowski running in fourth.

On Lap 28, Kevin Harvick would pass Brad Keselowski taking over fourth and pull away from him by several truck lengths.

On Lap 30, the second caution flag flew for Russ Dugger in the No. 89 Lafferty Performance Chevrolet Silverado truck spun without hitting anything coming out of turn two.

Ron Hornaday would make his way back to the track, in 33rd, some 29 laps and his crew with help did a great job making repairs and getting him out so fast.

Hornaday will make sure it handles okay, run around a few laps see what he has, then try to make up positions and make up some points.

The top five under the caution was: Kyle Busch leading, Brian Scott in second, Scott Speed in third, Kevin Harvick in fourth, and Brad Keselowski in fifth.

On the Lap 34 restart, Kyle Busch takes the green, pulls away from Brian Scott in second. Kevin Harvick takes third, from Scott Speed and the leaders pass the repaired Ron Hornaday truck.

Scott Speed would go high on the track to avoid and get around Ron Hornaday. While Brad Keselowski would go low passing him for fourth.

On Lap 35, Scott Speed would brush the wall, avoiding contact with Erik Darnell and lose fifth to him.

On Lap 38, Johnny Benson would back out of his first brush with disaster, after being caught in three wide action and being in the middle.

On Lap 40, Kyle Busch leads Brian Scott in second by 1.2 seconds and Kevin Harvick in third by 1.4 seconds.

On Lap 43, Kevin Harvick is running faster than Kyle Busch the leader and starts too catch Brian Scott in second.

On Lap 44, Scott Speed has battled back to fourth position re-passing both Erik Darnell and Brad Keselowski.

On Lap 46, The top three Kyle Busch, Brian Scott and Kevin Harvick are all running the same lap times.

On Lap 52, Todd Bodine in the No. 30 Lumber Liquidators Toyota Tundra truck in fifth, passes Scott Speed for fourth. Speed is running loose and may have a brake issue.

On Lap 54, Kevin Harvick passes Kyle Busch for the lead but Busch on the high side would battle back and hang onto the lead.
