Not to be forgotten, Matt Kenseth fought Keselowski hard for the win. Constantly battling, Kenseth was simple out run by the stronger car of Keselowski.

Early problems


Pre-race favorites at Bristol usually include 5-time winner Kyle Busch but today would not be Busch's day. Busch was caught up in a wreck early in the race along with Carl Edwards, Marcos Ambrose and Kevin Harvick. The wreck occurred when Kasey Kahne and Regan Smith were battling for position, Kahne thought he was clear of Smith but was not.
