By outlasting the rest of the field, Johnson had enough gas at the end to take his first victory of the season during the Subway Fresh Fit 500.
A restart on lap 233 left 79 laps left until the checkered flag and forced teams to calculate their pit strategy according to how far they could run on fuel. Only Johnson and Clint Bowyer were able to conserve enough to avoid a pit stop.
Mark Martin looked to be running away with the event during the last 30 laps after passing Dale Earnhardt Jr. for the lead, but was relinquished to a fifth-place finish after his team decided to bring the No. 8 U.S. Army DEI Chevrolet onto pit road for fuel.
Denny Hamlin had the field covered had Johnson and Bowyer ran out of fuel after crew chief Mike Ford brought the No. 11 Toyota down pit road earlier than most and gave Hamlin a splash of gas and two right side tires. Hamlin wound up third with last week's winner Carl Edwards taking fourth.
Edwards likely had the strongest car all evening, but a pit road penalty on lap 114 dropped Edwards a lap down and to the tail end of the field due to an ill-timed caution flag.
Polesitter Ryan Newman led the first 30 laps but later had a power steering problem and never made it back on track after oiling down turns three and four, causing a pile-up that involved point-leader Jeff Burton spinning through the grass. Newman finished dead last in 43rd.
