Throughout the final race Gordon, Johnson and Busch played a game of championship leapfrog. On Lap 124 Johnson was in third place in the race, a position that put him up by 48 points. By Lap 178 Gordon was in third place and atop the standings by 36 points.

On a day it was revealed that Barry Bonds might be called to testify at a House committee hearing investigating steroid use in baseball, Commissioner Bud Selig hinted he might at some point do his own investigation of past steroid use. I'll do that in a very sensitive manner. I'm sorry. I don't agree with naming names and hurting people. You can get to the truth in a different way, ...
