Kurt Busch led a race high 75 laps on his way to victory at Sonoma. This was also Busch’s first career victory on a road course.
Busch totally dominated this race from almost start to finish beating second place Jeff Gordon by almost 4 seconds. Clint Bowyer finished third followed by Marcos Ambrose.
The race also featured the on track flare-ups that NASCAR has become known for. This was seen when Brian Vickers spun out Tony Stewart which was payback for an earlier incident. The bump sent Stewart’s car spinning into a stack of tires, and the rear of his Chevrolet came to a rest on top of the stack.
