Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

     On November 1, 2010, CVR Energy, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing information regarding its results of operations and financial condition for the quarter and the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the text of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

     The information in Item 2.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K and Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto is being “furnished” and is not deemed “filed” by the Company for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section, nor is it deemed incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Item 8.01. Other Events.

     Coffeyville Resources Nitrogen Fertilizers, LLC (“CRNF”) is a wholly-owned subsidiary of a limited partnership in which the Company owns all of the interests (other than the managing general partner interest and associated incentive distribution rights). CRNF previously announced on October 1, 2010 that it would move up its planned turnaround in response to a rupture that occurred to a high-pressure Urea Ammonium Nitrate (UAN) vessel at its Coffeyville, Kansas facility, to minimize impact on production. CRNF’s turnaround was substantially completed on October 29, 2010 and CRNF has resumed production, with the exception of its UAN plant, which we currently anticipate will be restarted later this month. Repairs to the UAN plant are expected to cost between $7 million and $10 million. Repair costs in excess of the $2.5 million deductible under our property insurance should be covered by insurance, limiting the financial impact of the incident. Until the UAN plant can be restarted, CRNF will continue to produce ammonia.
