However, Hurricane Hanna altered the plans and forced the race to be moved to the next day, September 7 at 1 PM US EDT.

Greg Biffle and Kevin Harvick were exempt as per the Top 35 Owner Points standings rule, both started the race and clinched spots.

As earlier stated, Hanna caused the cancellation of the qualifying of the race, and the field was set by the rulebook.

David Reutimann dominated the race and led 104 laps, but a braking problem cut his hopes short.

David Ragan's chances of making the chase were all but finished when he was involved in an incident with teammate Matt Kenseth.
