Following Harvick and Busch to the drop of the checkered flag were James Buescher finishing in third, Johnny Sauter finishing fourth and continues to lead in the points with a 5-point lead over fifth-place finisher, Austin Dillon.

Rounding out the top-ten finishers were Sunoco Rookie of the Year contender, Joey Coulter, finishing in sixth, Mark Martin seventh, Matt Crafton eighth, Ron Hornaday, Jr. ninth and Timothy Peters finishing in tenth.
