#48-Jimmie Johnson won the NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race at Charlotte Motor Speedway for the third time, tying Dale Earnhardt Sr. and Jeff Gordon for most all-time. Johnson won $1,071,340 for the win. #2-Keselowski finished 2nd followed by #17-Kenseth, #18-Busch [pole sitter], #88-Earnhardt Jr. [winner of the Sprint Showdown], #29-Harvick, #9-Ambrose, #51-Busch, #5-Kahne and #39-Newman. Johnson won the first 20-lap segment which earned him the right to lead the field to pit road before the final 10-lap dash. Kenseth won the second segment, Keselowski won the third segment over #5-Kahne by .006 seconds. Earnhardt won segment No. 4. So after segment 4, Johnson, Kenseth, Keselowski and Earnhardt entered pit road in that order, took no tires or gas and came out in those same top four positions for the final 10-lap run. Sprint Fan Vote winner, #47-Bobby Labonte finished 19th. There were no accidents and only two cars failed to finish the race, #16-Biffle and last years winner #99-Edwards, both with engine failures.
