Brad Keselowski secured a victory after starting from the eighth position, completing the race without incidents under green flag conditions. His consistent performance throughout the race is reflected in his finishing first and maintaining a steady pace across all 100 laps. Justin Allgaier, starting from the fourth position, managed to finish second, keeping his initial momentum and avoiding any significant drops or gains in positions.
Elliott Sadler had a notable performance, moving from an 18th starting position to secure fourth at the finish, showcasing his ability to gain positions effectively. Similarly, Matt Tifft demonstrated an impressive drive, moving from 31st to 10th, a stark contrast indicating his strong race strategy and execution. Despite leading the field initially, Kyle Benjamin's race was influenced by the incident involving car #33 at lap 80, leading him from pole to a 16th place finish, his average running position affected significantly by the late caution, invalidating his overall race performance.
The race observed a wild fluctuation in positions due to various incidents, notably Brandon Jones, who dropped from 17th at the start to finish in 36th after an accident at lap 80. Notably, the distance gained by drivers like Daniel Hemric, who started in second but finished ninth, highlights the bonanza of positional changes seen throughout the event.
