Also somewhat uneventful, Denny Hamlin spun on pit road while trying to make a green-flag pit stop on lap 27. On the final lap, Joey Logano tried to made a block on the inside on Chris Buescher, but spun himself out and collected Harrison Burton. The only caution of either duel was displayed and Chris Buescher took the win over Michael McDowell, with RFK Racing sweeping the duels. Greg Biffle made the Daytona 500 over Timmy Hill.
