NOTE: Robby Gordon had sponsorship from Motorola for this race. At first, the decals were ordered removed from the car by NASCAR, as per Nextel's exclusivity rights (even though Nextel uses Motorola equipment exclusively),, however, the decision was modified to allow Gordon to carry an advertisement for Motorola's digital audio players, which allowed Motorola to evade any ban.
