Jeff Gordon joined Harvick on the front row, and stated that he "thought our car was a little bit better in race trim than it was in qualifying trim when we swapped over", and also stated that the conditions of the track were very tricky. Aric Almirola, Kyle Larson and Cole Whitt hit the wall during qualifying, with Almirola lamenting the fact and stating he had "probably the best race car I've ever had at Bristol and I screwed up and hit the fence".http://www.mrn.com/Race-Series/NASCAR-Sprint-Cup/News/Articles/2014/08/Kevin-Harvick-Wins-Bristol-Pole.aspx Harvick Bristol Pole Winner Long Dustin Motor Racing Network August 22, 2014 MRN.com August 22, 2014 https://web.archive.org/web/20140825030122/http://www.mrn.com/Race-Series/NASCAR-Sprint-Cup/News/Articles/2014/08/Kevin-Harvick-Wins-Bristol-Pole.aspx August 25, 2014 dead Qualifying results Pos No. Car number Driver Team Manufacturer R1 Best Time in Round 1 R2 Best Time in Round 2 1 4 Kevin Harvick Stewart–Haas Racing Chevrolet 14.719 14.607 2 24 Jeff Gordon Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet 14.688 14.615 3 99 Carl Edwards Roush Fenway Racing Ford 14.722 14.624 4 18 Kyle Busch Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota 14.732 14.641 5 22 Joey Logano Team Penske Ford 14.752 14.644 6 48 Jimmie Johnson Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet 14.747 14.644 7 41 Kurt Busch Stewart–Haas Racing Chevrolet 14.743 14.654 8 16 Greg Biffle Roush Fenway Racing Ford 14.752 14.662 9 2 Brad Keselowski Team Penske Ford 14.737 14.703 10 9 Marcos Ambrose Richard Petty Motorsports Ford 14.730 14.708 11 31 Ryan Newman Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet 14.734 14.741 12 5 Kasey Kahne Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet 14.754 14.759 13 11 Denny Hamlin Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota 14.762 — 14 15 Clint Bowyer Michael Waltrip Racing Toyota 14.772 — 15 55 Brian Vickers Michael Waltrip Racing Toyota 14.774 — 16 20 Matt Kenseth Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota 14.796 — 17 27 Paul Menard Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet 14.796 — 18 1 Jamie McMurray Chip Ganassi Racing Chevrolet 14.800 — 19 51 Justin Allgaier (R) HScott Motorsports Chevrolet 14.810 — 20 88 Dale Earnhardt Jr. Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet 14.848 — 21 17 Ricky Stenhouse Jr. Roush Fenway Racing Ford 14.855 — 22 47 A.

The race was scheduled to start at 7:46 p.m. Eastern time but started three minutes late when Kevin Harvick led the field to the green. Harvick led the race until lap 38 when Jeff Gordon took the lead. He led until lap 55 when Kyle Busch assumed the lead of the race, and held it to the first caution of the race; at lap 61, there was a competition caution that had been scheduled due to overnight rain showers around the vicinity of the circuit. Harvick retook the lead during the caution period; Kyle Busch came off pit road as the leader, but he was sent to the rear of the field for speeding in the pits and Matt Kenseth assumed the lead for the restart on lap 68. Calamity The caution came out a lap later for a multi-car crash in turn 2, before the race restarted on lap 77. Kenseth maintained the lead of the race, for a good portion of the race; he was not headed until Joey Logano took the lead on lap 104. The caution flew for the third time on lap 125 for a multi-car wreck on the backstretch that began when Brian Vickers got into Kyle Larson, and then spun into Aric Almirola. Clint Bowyer then ran into Kyle Busch, sending Busch spinning into the inside wall.http://www.sportingnews.com/nascar/story/2014-08-23/bristol-crash-kyle-busch-clint-bowyer-kyle-larson-brian-vickers-aric-almirola Big crash at Bristol claims Kyle Busch, Clint Bowyer and others Owens Jeff Sporting News August 23, 2014 SportingNews.com August 24, 2014 August 26, 2014 https://web.archive.org/web/20140826113909/http://www.sportingnews.com/nascar/story/2014-08-23/bristol-crash-kyle-busch-clint-bowyer-kyle-larson-brian-vickers-aric-almirola dead Denny Hamlin took the lead during the caution period, and held the lead as the race restarted on lap 137. Tempers flare "He thinks he knows everything. I wish I had some kind of car left to show him the favor back. We're not even halfway. It's just a misjudgment. He's a good driver. He knows better. He made a mistake. I thought for sure after the first couple of runs we were going to win the race. We were really fast. These are the racetracks we have to capitalize on. With what we've got, these are the tracks we can get wins and get the momentum going for the Chase. This is still not going to stop our momentum because we ran strong." Denny Hamlin, referring to Kevin Harvick after their collision while racing for the lead. 40% right While racing for the lead, Harvick tapped Hamlin, which sent him spinning into the inside wall on the front stretch. Hamlin's car bounced off the wall, and back up towards the track where it hit the left-hand side of the car of Dale Earnhardt Jr., ripping all the protection foam out of it. This brought out the fourth caution of the race on lap 161; Hamlin subsequently threw his HANS device at Harvick's car. This was the second straight year that the two drivers had a post-crash altercation during the summer Bristol race. Post-race, Harvick described the incident as "I just lost the front end, honestly", apportioning blame on himself. Hamlin was angered at the way his race ended, which left him with a 40th-place finish. Earnhardt Jr. tried to avoid a collision with Hamlin's car, but as he described it, "there was a lot of smoke so I couldn't really judge the speed of his car to know whether I needed to be going up there and go around him on the top". The damage to his car – the lower control arm was torn off his left-front tire – left him with a 39th-place finish.http://www.mrn.com/Race-Series/NASCAR-Sprint-Cup/News/Articles/2014/08/Early-Troubles-for-JGR-Duo.aspx Hamlin Not Happy With Harvick Long Dustin Motor Racing Network August 23, 2014 MRN.com August 24, 2014 https://web.archive.org/web/20140826051155/http://www.mrn.com/Race-Series/NASCAR-Sprint-Cup/News/Articles/2014/08/Early-Troubles-for-JGR-Duo.aspx August 26, 2014 dead thumb|left|Racing at Thunder Valley. The race restarted on lap 173 with Harvick leading the way. Harvick held the lead until the fifth caution of the race, which flew on lap 195, after Michael Annett hit the wall in turn 4. Kasey Kahne took the lead after staying out when the leaders pitted, and led the field to the restart on lap 201. Kahne led the next portion of the race, before Jamie McMurray took over at the front on lap 238. McMurray led until the caution flew for the sixth time on lap 264, after Danica Patrick got spun out by Alex Bowman in turn 2. Bowman referred to the incident as looking "like somebody slid up a couple of cars in front of her and they all checked up", and added that he spoke to Patrick post-race about the incident – this occurred after Patrick ran up on Bowman to show her displeasure, after the incident. Patrick stated that her and Bowman had made up but stated that if the two came into contact on the track again, "worse things will happen".http://www.mrn.com/Race-Series/NASCAR-Sprint-Cup/News/Articles/2014/08/Danica-Patrick-And-Alex-Bowman-Discuss-Incident.aspx Bowman Apologizes To Patrick Long Dustin Motor Racing Network August 23, 2014 MRN.com August 24, 2014 https://web.archive.org/web/20140826051149/http://www.mrn.com/Race-Series/NASCAR-Sprint-Cup/News/Articles/2014/08/Danica-Patrick-And-Alex-Bowman-Discuss-Incident.aspx August 26, 2014 dead Brad Keselowski took the lead during the pit cycle, and held the race lead for the restart on lap 270. Keselowski maintained the race beyond the 300-lap mark, and until lap 312, when McMurray assumed the lead once again. McMurray held the lead for almost 50 laps before the caution flag flew for the seventh time during the race; this was caused by debris on the track. McMurray won the race off pit road, despite Logano momentarily taking the lead through the pit process. Second half thumb|Caution on the racetrack The race restarted on lap 367, with McMurray in the lead. It was a short-lived restart, as the caution came out for the eighth time on lap 375 after Marcos Ambrose crashed on the front stretch. McMurray again led to the restart, on lap 382. A 50-lap green-flag period followed, before the ninth and final caution of the race – on lap 431 – for debris. Logano and Matt Kenseth both led a lap during the caution period, before the restart on lap 438. Kyle Busch had been complaining late in the race about his car; he stated over his car's radio that "I need a whole new right front suspension, a whole new right front suspension". In light of his driver's complaints, crew chief Dave Rogers had no sympathy for him: "Park it behind the truck and take your whiny little ass to the bus". Busch recorded a 36th-place finish, after leading eight laps earlier in the race. Rogers deemed the race as "frustrating", and also stated that he and Busch spoke after the race following the communications over the radio, and "had a great talk". Team owner Joe Gibbs said Busch and Rogers cleared the air before they left the track, after "a frustrating night", but Gibbs was "kind of used to it".https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nascar/2014/08/24/kyle-busch-bristol-irwin-tools-night-race-joe-gibbs-racing/14520915/ Kyle Busch, crew chief trades barbs at Bristol Hembree Mike Gannett Satellite Information Network, Inc.
