  • This was Elliott Sadler's first career win, and the first for the Wood Brothers Racing team since 1993 with Morgan Shepherd.
  • It was also the first time cars #21 and #43 took the top two finishing positions since 1977, but the first time since the 1976 Southern 500 that the #21 finished on top when David Pearson beat Richard Petty. As of 2012 it is the most recent time those two cars have finished in the top two spots.

Famous quotes containing the words food and/or city:

    Civilization means food and literature all round. Beefsteaks and fiction magazines for all. First-class proteins for the body, fourth-class love-stories for the spirit.
    Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)

    Nor is there singing school but studying
    Monuments of its own magnificence;
    And therefore I have sailed the seas and come
    To the holy city of Byzantium.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
