Harvick led the most laps of any driver but errors during his pit-stops cost him multiple positions during the 367-lap race.
Truex Jr. made his way to the front after passing Ryan Newman, holding on in the finals laps to secure the victory.
Harvick, despite his problems, eventually settled for second place.
