This looked like a sure thing for Hagan for about 500 feet, then Hagan started smoking the tires and dropping cylinders. Bode's car had some problems of its own, but he rapidly closed the gap and may have led briefly past the 660-foot marker. Hagan managed to get the tires hooked up and surged ahead for the win. Bode was charged for oil in his lane in the shutdown.

Matt Hagan's incremental margins: 60ft(0.105), 330 ft(0.129), 660ft(0.055). MOV: 0.1013 seconds (approximately 31 feet).
