Jučerašnjom trkom Samsung Mobile 500 nastavljenja je NASCAR sezona.
U prvoj noćnoj trci ove sezone slavio je Greg Biffle, vozač #16 Forda za Roush Fenway Racing, a sledio ga je Jimmie Johnson u #48 Chevroletu za Hendrick Motorsport.
Ovom pobedom Biffle se učvrstio na prvom mestu u generalnom plasmanu dok je Roush Fenway pobedio devetu trku na Texas Motor Speedway od poslednjih 16 trka.
Upravo su Biffle i Johnson vodili većinu trke (Johnson 156, Biffle 91 od ukupno 334 kruga) i na kraju odlučili pobednika. Cela trka je protekla dosta čisto i donela rekordne samo dve žute zastave zbog manjih incidenata. To je najbolje koristio Johnson koji je dominirao tokom cele trke, ali u nijednom momentu nije uspeo da napravi značajniju prednost nad Biffleom. I onda, na 30 krugova pre kraja, vozač #16 Forda uspeva da prestigne bivšeg petostrukog šampiona i da lagano privede trku kraju.
Na trećem mestu se našao Mark Martin koji juri rekord Harry Ganta kao najstarija osoba koja je pobedila NASCAR trku dok je četvrto mesto zauzeo Jeff Gordon. Vozač #24 Chevroleta je počeo tek na 34. poziciji i vozio bez greške, ali mali broj žutih zastava ga je omeo da se bori za pobedu. Top 5 je popunio Matt Kenseth koji se tako probio na drugo mesto u generalnom plasmanu. Za kraj izdvojićemo i Marcosa Ambrosea koji je celu trku proveo među deset najbržih, ali je na kraju ostao bez goriva i završio tek na 20. poziciji. Sezona se nastavlja sledeće sedmice trkom u Kanzasu.
