The Aaron's 312 at Talladega was held April 20 at Talladega Superspeedway. Johnny Sauter won the pole.

This occurred when Shane Hmiel got into Scott Riggs and he hit Johnny Sauter. Sauter tumbled end over end while cars trying to avoid the wreck braked and slammed into each other. Only three cars finished on the lead lap.
