Brad Keselowski passed Marcos Ambrose to challenge Busch for the final lap. Busch was losing traction from the oil, and slid up the racetrack, followed by Ambrose. Keselowski attempted to pass on the inside, blocked by Busch with car-to-car contact causing Busch to spin, leaving Keselowski in the lead with a damaged front quarter. Keselowski and Ambrose battled hard for first place, both driving through the grass to avoid more oil in turn 8. Ambrose took the lead from Keselowski in turn 9 and was able to hold off a bump and run attempt from Keselowski in turn 10 and Ambrose took the flag, followed by Keselowski. Busch finished 7th.https://www.jacksonville.com/story/sports/2012/08/13/ambrose-wins-wild-race-watkins-glen-0/15857686007/ Marcos Ambrose wins in a wild finish at Watkins Glen Jacksonville.com 2012-08-13 Race results FinishNo.DriverMakeTeamLapsLedStatusPts19Marcos AmbroseFordRichard Petty Motorsports908running4722Brad KeselowskiDodgePenske Racing9037running43348Jimmie JohnsonChevyHendrick Motorsports900running41415Clint BowyerToyotaMichael Waltrip Racing900running40522Sam Hornish Jr.DodgePenske Racing900running0616Greg BiffleFordRoush Fenway Racing900running38718Kyle BuschToyotaJoe Gibbs Racing9043running39817Matt KensethFordRoush Fenway Racing900running36978Regan SmithChevyFurniture Row Racing900running351056Martin Truex Jr.ToyotaMichael Waltrip Racing900running341139Ryan NewmanChevyStewart–Haas Racing900running331227Paul MenardChevyRichard Childress Racing900running32135Kasey KahneChevyHendrick Motorsports900running311499Carl EdwardsFordRoush Fenway Racing901running311529Kevin HarvickChevyRichard Childress Racing900running291613Casey MearsFordGermain Racing900running281795Scott SpeedFordLeavine Family Racing900running271843Aric AlmirolaFordRichard Petty Motorsports900running261914Tony StewartChevyStewart–Haas Racing900running252038David GillilandFordFront Row Motorsports900running242124Jeff GordonChevyHendrick Motorsports900running232234David RaganFordFront Row Motorsports900running222383Landon CassillToyotaBK Racing900running212493Travis KvapilToyotaBK Racing900running202532Boris SaidFordFAS Lane Racing900running192633Stephen LeichtChevyCircle Sport900running182747Bobby LabonteToyotaJTG Daugherty Racing900running172888Dale Earnhardt Jr.ChevyHendrick Motorsports890running162987Joe NemechekToyotaNEMCO Motorsports880running03031Jeff BurtonChevyRichard Childress Racing840running143151Kurt BuschChevyPhoenix Racing810running133220Joey LoganoToyotaJoe Gibbs Racing710running123342Juan Pablo MontoyaChevyEarnhardt Ganassi Racing631crash123411Denny HamlinToyotaJoe Gibbs Racing570engine103549Jason LefflerToyotaRobinson-Blakeney Racing420engine03636Dave BlaneyChevyTommy Baldwin Racing410suspension83798Michael McDowellFordPhil Parsons Racing300rear gear73826Josh WiseFordFront Row Motorsports250electrical6391Jamie McMurrayChevyEarnhardt Ganassi Racing240crash54010J.
