Jeff Gordon had the lead when the field came to green on lap 349, but Greg Biffle grabbed the top spot one lap later and stayed there until caution for Jimmie Johnson's blown engine brought out the 14th caution on lap 396.

Biffle was forced to pit for fuel under yellow on lap 399 and handed the lead to Kasey Kahne when he came down pit road. Kahne ran out of fuel just after the restart, opening the door for Earnhardt. But Earnhardt didn't have enough fuel to complete the extra two laps.

So in the end Kurt Busch finished fourth ahead of A.J. Allmendinger, Marcos Ambrose, Earnhardt Jr, Regan Smith, David Reutimann and Denny Hamlin.

In the standings, Carl Edwards is still first with 445 points in front of Harvick (409), Johnson (408), Earnhardt Jr. (402) and Kyle Busch (392).
