The race was broadcast live and flag-to-flag on ESPN.
One unique feature of the broadcast was the "VASR" stats, sponsored by Golden Rule Insurance. It showed drivers' total time on pit road, split into the time it took them to enter and exit pit road, as well as the time it took the crews to work on the car. In addition to the race coverage it also had a feature on a golf tournament where many drivers, crew members, and media personalities, participated to raise medical funds for Mike Curb Racing crew member Jesse Sykes.
