Waltrip countered that drivers must maintain a reasonable speed back to the line. "He got involved in the crash and did not maintain a reasonable speed," Waltrip said. "So I'm sure it's easy for Johnny to complain he should've won. But he just doesn't know the rules." Bowyer, filling in for Kevin Harvick on the car owned by Richard Childress Racing, tried to make it very simple as he led 104 laps. He looked ready to become the fastest driver ever to win a Busch race in just his second event on the series. But debris on the frontstretch forced the fifth caution and led to a restart with five laps remaining. "I wish it'd never come out," Bowyer said. "I definitely had the car to beat on a long run. I just didn't need that last caution." Busch passed Bowyer in Turn 3 on lap 223, then Bowyer tapped him and ran by him coming out of Turn 4. They kept fighting until the crash happened. Busch said he was trying to get to the bottom of the track when Bowyer hit him for the second time.
