Travis Kvapil narrowly missed out on a top ten finish in his unsponsored Yates Racing entry and took eleventh with Juan Montoya 12th in what is becoming an increasingly unsettled season for the Colombian born Chip Ganassi Racing man. Brian Vickers suffered two speeding penalties and finished two laps down in 13th with Ryan Newman 14th, the fifth Roush-Fenway Ford of David Ragan 15th and the rest of the top 20 at least three laps behind the leaders such was Busch's torrid pace at the head of the field.
Of the drivers caught up in the lap 17 melee Kahne fared best and finished 31st, eight laps off the lead with Earnhardt Jr 13 laps back in 35th, Harvick 74 laps back in 38th and Stewart 41st, retiring his damaged car after completing 199 laps.
Despite the generally mundane nature of the race there was plenty of shuffling in the points standings amongst the top 12 for while Busch now leads Burton by 142 points, third place man Earnhardt Jr is now more than 270 points back with Edwards up to fourth, Biffle jumping six places to fifth and Gordon jumping four places to sixth. The biggest losers on the day were Hamlin, Harvick, Stewart and Kahne for although they remain in the top 12, less than 200 points now separate them from a bunch of non chase drivers including surprise package Ragan,
Daytona 500 champ Newman, the consistent Truex Jr, the recovering Kenseth and the unpredictable Montoya.
