With threatening skies over the Richmond International Raceway throughout the evening, racing the entire 400 laps was doubtful at best.
That was much like the fuel situation for Clint Bowyer at the end of the race who stretched his fuel over 100 laps to the checkered flag to win the Federated Auto Parts 400.
“Unbelievable. To win tonight, the way we won it, we got the left rear knocked down, that ultimately ended up winning us the race.,” said Bowyer post-race.
“It’s the same old thing. When you start backing up and saving gas, you go faster. They’re screaming at you, Slower. It’s like, I am going slower.

Here’s a look at the results of the drama-filled race from RIR to decide the field for the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup.
