The start of the race was delayed 90 minutes due to rain and was called 62 laps short of its 160-lap distance. Gordon claimed his 86th career win but his Sprint Cup series victory since last September.  Kasey Kahne, Martin Truex Jr., Brad Kesolowski and Tony Stewart rounded out the top-five. Points leader Dale Earnhardt, Jr. had transmission problems and finished 32^nd.
