- Complete Results
The Ford 400 was held November 20 at Homestead-Miami Speedway. Carl Edwards won the pole and was part of a 1–2–3–4 finish for Roush Racing. Meanwhile, Edwards, Greg Biffle, Tony Stewart, and Jimmie Johnson each had a mathematical chance to win the championship. However, Johnson crashed out at Lap 127 with a blown tire in Turn Three. Despite the fact that Edwards and Biffle finished up front while Stewart finished 15th, Stewart still clinched the championship. The race was also the last for Rusty Wallace; he retired afterwards, having competed in NASCAR Cup racing for 25 years.

Famous quotes containing the word ford:
“In a moment when criticism shows a singular dearth of direction every man has to be a law unto himself in matters of theatre, writing, and painting. While the American Mercury and the new Ford continue to spread a thin varnish of Ritz over the whole United States there is a certain virtue in being unfashionable.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
