Matt Kenseth ended Carl Edward's two-race Busch winning streak by pulling his car out of a spin without hitting the wall early in the race, then overtaking Denny Hamlin with nine laps left.  Hamlin finished second and Edwards finished third extending his points lead.

“I heard something break, I guess it was the tire popping,” Kenseth said.  “My first thought was, ‘I hope I don’t hit anything.’  Because of all the dumb stuff I’ve done before, I guess, I was able to figure out how not to hit the wall. …It was a lot of luck, too.”  Kenseth’s spin did bring out a yellow, but his crew fixed the car and Kenseth got his lap back on a subsequent caution.  Casey Mears wound up fourth.  Rookie David Ragan, who started on the pole, finished fifth.

The Busch class win went to Paul Menard who finished ninth overall.  Menard needs to stick with the Busch Series as it appears to suit his skill level well.  Second in class was Jason Leffler in the great Clips car.  Leffler finished 13th overall.

Bobby Hamilton Jr. finished third in class in his No. 35 McDonald's Ford Fusion and 14th overall.  More importantly he made good on his promise made two weeks ago to be the top "Busch Guy" in two weeks.  He leads the Busch Class standings in first place and is seventh in the Busch Series Standings overall.  He is only 14 points behind Kenseth for sixth overall and will now put Matt right in his sites.

Mike Wallace finished fourth in class and 15th overall in his No. 7 Geico Ford Fusion.  While Brad Coleman enjoyed a good day with a fifth place class finish and 16th overall.
