Nascar – Brian Vickers, Loudon’s big odds

Brian Vickers (Michael Waltrip Racing) n’aura mené que 16 tours sur l’ovale de Loudon, mais le pilote de la Toyota n°55 a réalisé une course parfaite pour décrocher son premier succès depuis le Michigan 2009. Alors que Tony Stewart (Stewart-Haas Racing) only finished in 26th place following a fuel shortage, the MWR team's Camry took the lead at the very last moment after the green-white-checkered by dropping off Kyle Busch (Joe Gibbs Racing) who also had to monitor his gauge. Jeff Burton (Richard Childress Racing) achieved his best result of the season with third place.

Pole sitter Brad Keselowski (Penske Racing) stayed at the front to take the points for fourth position ahead of Aric Almirola (Richard Petty Motorsports). Jimmie Johnson (Hendrick Motorsports), who started from the back of the grid following a too-low ride height at the end of qualifying, placed sixth ahead of Kevin Harvick (Richard Childress Racing), Carl Edwards (Roush Fenway Racing) , Matt Kenseth (Joe Gibbs Racing) and Jeff Gordon (Hendrick Motorsports). Kurt Busch (Furniture Row Racing) caused a sensation by leading for a third of the race before being involved in an accident and Ryan Newman (Stewart-Haas Racing) on ​​lap 25.
