He can do so much as a crew chief. He is good for me from the mental side and we have been qualifying so much better here the last six weeks or so... that is a really fast lap for me. I got all I can get out of it."

Next, rock singer Kelly Hansen of Atlantic recording artists Foreigner performed the national anthem, and singer Lee Ann Womack gave the command for drivers to start their engines. During the pace laps, Trevor Bayne had to move to the rear of the grid because of changing transmissions. At the start, Sadler maintained his lead ahead of Biffle. On the following lap, Biffle took the first position away from Sadler, as Montoya maintained fourth. Hamlin, who started the race twenty-eighth, had fallen to thirtieth by the fifth lap. Ragan took over the third position, while his teammate Edwards claimed second on the sixth and eighth laps respectively. On the twelfth lap, the first caution was given because Joe Nemechek's car was putting oil and debris on the track after the engine in his car failed and he slid into the wall. All the front runners made pit stops during the caution. At the lap 17 restart, Biffle remained the leader, ahead of Sadler and Edwards in second and third. Within four laps, Johnson had moved to ninth. On lap 23, Sadler lost third to Mark Martin. The next lap, Dave Blaney's car began smoking, though the caution did not come out; Blaney would take his car to the garage five laps later. Kurt Busch hit the wall on lap 25, falling to 36th. Johnson continued moving up the field, having advanced to fifth by lap 42. On lap 43, the second caution was given for debris. Martin came off of pit road the leader, followed by Edwards, Kyle Busch, and Biffle. The green flag came back out on lap 47; two laps later, Biffle claimed the lead from Martin. Newman made an unscheduled pit stop on lap 55 as his seatbelt had come undone. The third caution was given three laps later when Hornish hit the turn 3 and 4 wall. Biffle maintained the lead on the restart, followed by Martin, Sadler, Bowyer, and Johnson. Kyle Busch both passed Sadler on lap 65, then passed Bowyer for third four laps later while his teammate Johnson moved into fourth. By lap 74, Sadler had fallen to eighth. Kyle Busch was passed by Johnson and Bowyer on laps 77 and 80 respectively. Martin, meanwhile, began to close on Biffle, trimming his lead to 0.6 seconds on lap 91. On lap 97, Martin made the pass for the lead. Green flag pit stops began eight laps later when Martin made a pit stop, handing the lead back to Biffle. The lead changed hands a few times while pit stops were being made, with Martin cycling back to the lead on lap 113. About 20 laps after Martin reclaimed the lead, Truex spun into the infield, bringing out the fourth caution. Joey Logano was first off of pit road and led the field on the restart. Biffle took the lead from Logano two laps after the restart. Between laps 144 and 148, Johnson moved from ninth to sixth, passing Bowyer, Harvick, and Kyle Busch. Truex brought out the fifth caution on lap 151, this time for cutting a right-front tire. Joey Logano won the race off of pit road and he led the field to the restart. Logano and Biffle raced side by side for the race lead for the next 2 laps with Biffle beating out Logano to the finish line both times. On lap 159, the 6th caution flew when Kyle Busch spun in turns 1 and 2. Busch came down pit road to get new tires and he got back out onto the racetrack and beat the pace car to stay on the lead lap. Unfortunately for Busch, he got caught for going too fast on pit road and Busch had to be held on pit road for 1 lap. Frustrated with NASCAR's decision, Busch gave the NASCAR Official who was holding him on pit road the finger. The race restarted on lap 163 and NASCAR penalized Busch again for flipping the NASCAR Official and had to come to pit road to be held for 2 laps. Busch pleaded his case even going as far as saying about the freedom of speech which made his crew chief, Dave Rogers, even more irate with Busch and Rogers yelled at Busch to stop and bring his car to pit road and park it for 2 laps which Busch would do on lap 164. On lap 177, Joey Logano passed Greg Biffle and took the lead. On lap 191, one of the strangest wrecks in NASCAR history occurred. For the third time in the race, Martin Truex Jr. brought out a caution this time for blowing a right front tire and hitting the wall in turn 3. Meanwhile, Jeff Gordon and Jeff Burton were racing each other for a position when the caution flew in turn 1. Burton went down as if to follow Gordon in turn 2 but instead Burton hooked Gordon and the two hit the outside wall ending their races. Gordon got out of his car and walked halfway down the apron of the backstretch towards Burton's car. Burton got out of his car and walked towards Gordon as if to apologize for what happened. But before words were exchanged, Gordon shoved Burton and the two got into a little bit of a fight on the backstretch with Officials separating both drivers. Both drivers walked into the same ambulance to the infield care center. After Jimmie Johnson had two bad pitstops, Johnson's crew chief Chad Knaus decided to switch pit crew members. He decided to switch Johnson's crew with Jeff Gordon's crew. The race restarted on lap 201 with Logano leading the field but Greg Biffle passed Logano and took the lead. With 91 laps to go, green flag pit stops began on the race track. Biffle got his lead back after the lead was shared by Kevin Harvick and Matt Kenseth. With 49 laps to go, the second cycle of green flag pit stops began with Joey Logano leading for 2 laps while Biffle pitted and Biffle took the lead back after everything cycled through. After 100 green flag laps, the 8th caution flew with 35 laps to go for debris. Kevin Harvick won the race off of pit road but Mark Martin and Tony Stewart stayed out of pit road and Martin led the field to the restart with 30 laps to go. With 29 laps to go, Denny Hamlin passed Mark Martin and Hamlin took the lead. Hamlin had built a large lead over Matt Kenseth but with 7 laps to go, the 9th and final caution flew when Patrick Carpentier spun in turn 2. Some went onto pit road while others stayed out including Hamlin and Kenseth. The race restarted with 3 laps to go. Hamlin and Kenseth raced side by side for the lead with Hamlin beating Kenseth to the line with 3 laps to go. With 2 laps to go, Kenseth passed Hamlin in turn 2 but Hamlin pulled the cross-over move on Kenseth and Kenseth got loose out of turn 2 and Hamlin passed Kenseth for the lead. Kenseth tried to catch Hamlin but Hamlin pulled away from Kenseth and Denny Hamlin won his 8th and final race of the 2010 season and Kenseth finished in 2nd. The win would boost Hamlin to the points lead. Mark Martin, Joey Logano, and Greg Biffle rounded out the top 5 while Kevin Harvick, Clint Bowyer, David Ragan, Jimmie Johnson, and Paul Menard rounded out the top 10.
