![The 2010 running of the Aaronâs 499 was a record-setting race. ](https://staticg.sportskeeda.com/editor/2019/04/9795a-15557821766276-800.jpg?w=190 190w, https://staticg.sportskeeda.com/editor/2019/04/9795a-15557821766276-800.jpg?w=720 720w, https://staticg.sportskeeda.com/editor/2019/04/9795a-15557821766276-800.jpg?w=640 640w, https://staticg.sportskeeda.com/editor/2019/04/9795a-15557821766276-800.jpg?w=1045 1045w, https://staticg.sportskeeda.com/editor/2019/04/9795a-15557821766276-800.jpg?w=1200 1200w, https://staticg.sportskeeda.com/editor/2019/04/9795a-15557821766276-800.jpg?w=1460 1460w, https://staticg.sportskeeda.com/editor/2019/04/9795a-15557821766276-800.jpg?w=1600 1600w, https://staticg.sportskeeda.com/editor/2019/04/9795a-15557821766276-800.jpg 1920w)
There were a record-setting 8 lead changes in this race, which shattered the previous record of 75 set in the 1984 Winston 500. There was also a record-setting 29 drivers who held the lead at one or another in the race, which breaks the record that was set in 2008.
This race saw the new Green-white-checker rule of three attempts. Jamie McMurray was the leader for each of these attempts. On the final lap, McMurray and Kevin Harvick pulled away from the pack to settle the race between them, much like Clint Bowyer and Jeff Burton did the next year. Heading into the tri-oval, Harvick moved McMurray up the track and got below him. McMurray gave him enough space and Harvick edged him to the line by a margin of 0.011 seconds. Shockingly, this was Harvick’s first win since the 2007 Daytona 500, which was also a photo finish.
