The Open
Martin Truex, Jr. won the NEXTEL Open, which was the first win for him of any kind in a NEXTEL Cup race. Johnny Sauter edged out Carl Edwards for the second transfer spot on offer in this race.
The 40-lap race was stopped four times due to caution, including a 10-car incident half-way through lap 1 in which, among other things, the hoods of the cars driven by David Gilliland and Juan Pablo Montoya collided into each other.
As mentioned above, Kenny Wallace won the fan vote, partly a credit to a large get out the vote campaign mounted by Speed Channel, where he works as an analyst.
