Kyle Busch had dominated most of the race after leading both Thursday practice sessions and winning the pole Friday morning in qualifying. With 8 laps to go Johnny Sauter cut down a tire and everyone knew it was going to be a exciting finish.

On the restart Kyle Busch and Johnny Benson both had issues with fuel either running out of fuel or fuel pickup problems.
