Jimmie Johnson notched his eighth Sprint Cup Series win at Martinsville as he held off Clint Bowyer. In a race marred with accidents, Danica Patrick secured her best finish since the Daytona 500, placing 12th. Dale Earnhardt Jr. lost his series points leads to Johnson after a disappointing 24th place finish.
In what was the most thrilling finish of the NASCAR season, Kyle Busch won the Auto Club 400 after rivals Denny Hamlin and Joey Logano wrecked each other in the final lap. The win was Joe Gibbs Racing's first win ever at Fontana. Hamlin was placed on a stretcher and loaded into an ambulance. Joey Logano and Tony Stewart proceeded to brawl, with Stewart apparently upset with Logan's interference during a restart. To top if off, Dale Earnhardt Jr. finished second and became the overall points leader. Needless to say, it was a thrilling weekend of racing.
Kasey Kahne conquered Bristol Motor Speedway for this first time in his career, securing the win after Brad Keselowski faltered on the final restart. The race also featured a dust-up between Denny Hamlin and Joey Logano, so that is something to keep an eye on during next week's race at Auto Club Speedway.
Matt Kenseth celebrated his birthday in style, winning the Kobalt Tools 400 at Las Vegas Speedway. The 41-year-old Kenseth scored his first career Sprint Cup win for Joe Gibbs Racing, holding off Kasey Kahne in the process.
