Logano restarted third behind Busch and Truex Jr. with 15 laps left. Truex powered into the lead, but with 12 laps remaining, Logano charged past him into the lead and never looked back. It was the first title for Logano, the second driver championship for team owner Roger Penske and it was the first championship for Ford since 2004. Truex Jr. finished second, Harvick third and Busch fourth.
