Гонка вцелом была довольно заурядная. Но последние восемь кругов были захватывающими и драматичными. Марк Мартин мог выйграть но ему жутко не повезло с соперником сзади:

It appeared Martin, driving his first race for the Wood Brothers/JTG Racing, would easily match his victory here a year ago after holding off a challenge from Skinner's Toyota on a restart on Lap 92 of the 100-lap event.
But David Starr brought out another caution, his second of the night, with a spin on Lap 93, giving the challengers one more chance.
"We were looking pretty good. But they have a caution for just about anything when we don't need them and we don't get them when we do," said Martin, who might have won the 500 if NASCAR had thrown a caution when cars began crashing on the last lap.
"If we hadn't had that yellow, I don't think there would have been any question of Mark Martin losing it," Hornaday said.

В результате выйграл Майк Скиннер.
