No. 3 Four drivers battle it out for the win (2014).

With nobody able to set up a clear dominance, the 2014 Toyota Owners 400 came down to a fight that involved all the top running cars. Matt Kenseth was in the lead but Jeff Gordon and Brad Keselowski were trailing him closely. Further back ran Joey Logano. The three leaders started their fierce battle made of side-by-side racing, bumpers and close quarters with seven laps to go.

This allowed Logano to catch the lead group back as Kenseth continued to lead. As Gordon and Keselowski got together (one of the many times that this happened in 2014) the other Penske driver used it to his advantage to take the lead.He then stretched out and nobody was able to catch him again. Gordon fought his way to second place with Kyle Busch and Keselowski third and fourth.
