Tony Stewart won the Camping World 300 from the pole, holding off teammate Kyle Busch, Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Martin Truex on the final lap. It was Stewart’s third victory in four years in the Nationwide Series season opener. It also was Joe Gibbs Racing’s first victory in a Toyota.
This was, in fact, a Toyota race almost from start to finish. Busch and Stewart traded the lead for most of the day, with Brian Vickers and Zephyrhills’ David Reutimann contending.
The race set a Nationwide track record for fewest caution laps (12).
