Last year’s race was a truly exciting extravaganza. In the end, the race was won by Kasey Kahne
in the number 5 Chevrolet for Hendrick Motorsports. In second place was Kyle Busch in the number
18 Toyota and in third was Brad Keselowski in the number 2 Ford. After this past weekend’s Daytona 500 was won
by Dale Earnhardt Jr., Earnhardt is leading in points going into the Food City
500, followed by Denny Hamlin and Brad Keselowski. There are two more events scheduled before
the Food City 500: The Profit on CNBC 500 in Avondale, AZ and the Kobalt 400 in
