Jeff Burton in Victory Lane at Bristol.

Harvick's move against Stewart gave him a second place finish. "If I'd had it to do over again, I wouldn't want to spin out, but it was just one of those deals where I was just trying to get all I could, and just got a little too far," said Harvick.

Instead of the race belonging to Joe Gibbs Racing with Stewart and Hamlin as one, two finishers, it was a Richard Childress Racing event with Clint Bowyer completing the one, two, three finish for RCR. Bowyer was happy for teammate Jeff Burton. "Winning here at Bristol, I know that's important to him and a special race for him to win," said Bowyer.

The Cup Series now takes a weekend off before heading to another short track thriller at Martinsville Speedway.
