For the fourth time in his career, Jimmie Johnson scored victory in the Sprint All-Star Race. He did it in classic Jimmie Johnson fashion by not coming alive until the last segment and then doing an all-out blitz to the finish. The race was rather calm, but the historic run by Johnson makes up for some of the vacant storylines this race had.

KYLE BUSCH, No. 18 Snickers Bites Toyota Camry, Joe Gibbs Racing - Starting Position: 4th - How was the qualifying run? "Everything was pretty good right there, but felt like I gave up a little bit in the middle of (turns) three and four. Other than that, I felt like our Snickers Bites Camry was really good. Race speed was really good today and the car moved around the race track really good. Just a little bit of a mistake on my part, maybe and gave up some time. It will be a good top-four starting spot and we will be alright and we can race them from there."
