Aric Almirola led the last 28 laps to take a surprise victory, the third of his NASCAR Cup Series career, and his first on a non superspeedway.

The track was originally the site of Bryar Motorsports Park before being purchased and redeveloped by Bob Bahre.

As reported by Fox Sports' Bob Pockrass, special rules are in place when a team wins a race.

In an accident similar to the start of the 2001 The Winston, on lap 6 rain picked up heavily in Turn 1, causing the leaders including Kyle Busch.

Dale Earnhardt Jr., four-time and all-time Loudon winner Jeff Burton and Steve Letarte called the race from the broadcast booth.

Brad Gillie, Brett McMillan and Alan Cavanna handled the duties on pit lane.
