Busch passed Elliott Sadler for the lead 61 laps from the end and appeared to have the win all wrapped up before a crash involving Hendrick Motorsports teammate Brian Vickers and rookie Clint Bowyer brought out a caution flag on lap 298, just three laps from the scheduled end. The race was extended even longer after another accident. At the last restart on lap 307, both rookie Denny Hamlin and Carl Edwards moved past Sadler, but Busch easily pulled away from the challengers.
