Kurt and Kyle Busch were the only leaders during the race -- Kyle held the top spot for 48 laps and pole-sitter Kurt led the other 27 circuits.

A two-lap overtime finish was set up due to an accident involving Eric McClure and Casey Roderick.

Keselowski was out after fracturing an ankle in a crash while testing at Road America this month.

Kurt Busch finished 1 second ahead of Johnson, while Logano took the third spot and Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Kyle Busch settled for fourth.

Carl Edwards finished fifth.
