jimmie johnson凭借着亚特兰大站的胜利，追平了dale earnhardt的76场胜利的记录，并且排在了纳斯卡历史第7。
纳斯卡六届总冠军jimmie johnson在比赛还剩40圈的时候提前进站，他也因此超过了场上的领先者kevin harvick，并且取得了14秒的领先优势。
在比赛还剩3圈的时候ryan newman爆胎引发黄旗，比赛因此进入加时赛。
dale earnhardt jr在重新起跑后超过了kevin harvick，并且紧咬jimmie johnson冲线，而kyle busch以第三完赛。
kyle busch也许对比赛结果也会很满意，因为从最后一位追上到第三的位置对于他而言是不容易的。
kyle busch在排位赛中排到第一，但是因为车队失误的技术检查，被罚掉了杆位，kurt busch随后排到了第一发车。
但是kyle busch在比赛中表现优异，最终以第三完赛，领先于kurt busch和carl edwards。
kurt busch在比赛前64圈一直保持领先，随后从第13位起步的matt kenseth超过了他。
但是虽有他因为加油违规受到处罚，从而丢掉了冠军希望。
harvick最终在加时赛阶段掉到了第6，而truex在他身后以第7完赛。
