2015 NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race: Complete finishing order
Joe Gibbs finally picked up his first All-Star Race win as a car owner as Denny Hamlin drove the No. 11 to victory.
Denny Hamlin is $1 million richer thanks to a quick restart that has many talking.
Hamlin spun his wheels and got off to a fast start in the restart zone to take the win at the All-Star Race on Saturday night. Whether or not, he got started too quick is up to judgment and his restart was deemed okay by the rules.
Everyone else was left in the dust as drivers struggled to take down Hamlin with the race package rules allowed on cars. With the aerodynamics giving everyone trouble, neither Kevin Harvick nor anyone else could catch the No. 11.
Brad Keselowski looked to have a strong chance at being able to compete for the race win, but a speeding penalty in the pits cost him any chance he had at catching Hamlin.
Last week’s winner at Kansas, Jimmie Johnson, struggled all night and finished 15th. It was also a great sight at the track as Kyle Busch returned from his serious leg injury he sustained in the Xfinity race at Daytona. He looked rusty at times, but was good enough to finish No. 6, and he left the track in high spirits.
With the All-Star Race in the books, here is the complete finishing order after the race.

Next week the drivers will get another shot at Charlotte, but this time much longer as they go for 600 miles at the Coca-Cola 600. It won’t be easy and it is easily one of the most grueling races of the season. How will aerodynamics and the track conditions affect NASCAR’s best next week?
