Race recap

[edit]

Brian Vickers won his second pole position of the season. Kyle Busch won the 400 lap race in his Toyota on his 24th birthday, with Tony Stewart, Jeff Burton, and Ryan Newman following. In total, there were 15 caution flags during the course of the race. Busch also won the NASCAR Nationwide Series race the previous day.[5] This would also be the final start for Jeremy Mayfield, as he was suspended by NASCAR soon after for failing the drug policy rule.
