Bowyer First at Nashville

Bowyer scored his first win at a track he has had success at in the past, having finished in the top five in every race he has started at Nashville. He also became the sixth driver in nine races to score his first win at Nashville.

Similar to the Nextel Cup race, the race ended under caution when Johnny Benson spun, the race over as Bowyer had taken the white flag before the caution was thrown, preventing the possibility of a green-white chequer finish.

A third place finish for Reed Sorenson moved him to the top of the points standings, with fifth place finisher Martin Truex and winner Clint Bowyer tied 51 points behind Sorenson. Carl Edwards dropped from the lead to fourth 96 points back as the rain delay saw him racing his Nextel Cup at Pocono at the same time.
