I'd just go with the top three... Kyle Busch has to win sometime...

Larson missed the qualification inspection , so that's why hes last but had the fastest car in practice.

It looked like it was going to be a boring end to a boring race, with Martin Truex, Jr winning both stages and having a 16 second lead with two laps to go over Kyle Larson, then Kurt Busch blew his engine, causing Overtime.

Kenseth Crashed after the OT line is passed, and Truex, Jr wins under Caution, Larson 2nd, Elliott 3rd.

2nd sweep for Truex, Jr.

[crazed 9.6]
