Post-race

In victory lane, Elliott stated about the wreck:

Meanwhile, Dillon, who finished 17th, said, "You've got to show respect. I hope he runs Iowa (next week). He won't finish the race." The following week at the Fan Appreciation 200, Elliott crashed on lap 35, finishing 31st.

Also on the final lap, Max Papis and Mike Skeen battled for second when they made contact in the final turn, and after the race, Skeen's pit crew, along with Skeen's girlfriend, attacked Papis. Papis later accused Skeen's girlfriend of dislocating his jaw, saying, "This crazy lady comes shouting at me, and I had no idea, didn't even understand her, she just started shouting. And all the sudden, she took a full hand - and she slapped me so hard. I'm not kidding. My jaw got dislocated and my left ear is still ringing, big time." Papis later redacted his statements, citing language barriers. On September 4, 2013, NASCAR suspended Skeen's girlfriend indefinitely from all NASCAR events, while crew chief Bryan Berry was fined $2,500.

Another post-race altercation involved Germán Quiroga and crews for James Buescher after the two and Ron Hornaday tangled in the final laps. Quiroga was spun out on the final lap and tried to confront Buescher in the pits before being restrained by NASCAR officials.
