The race's scariest moment came at lap 215m and there were a few tense moments for Bobby Labonte as he made contact with the wall.
A broken fuel line triggered the mess.
Labonte eventually climbed out of the mangled car, stumbled and fell onto the grass.
He was o-k, but more than a little hot under the collar.
Harvick ran out of fuel late in the race, allowing Newman to take the checkered flag for the third time this season.

On the very first playoff hole, Tolley's second shot finds the green from about 130 yards away.
He would two- putt that for par.
Then on the second hole of sudden death, Tolley's chip comes up just short of the hole.
Tolley won the title on the third extra hole with a par after Wise hit out of bounds, and took a bogey.
