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.

Famous quotes containing the word open:
“Manuel showed her his open hand: “Look at this finger, how meager it seems, and this one even weaker, and this other one no stronger, and this one all by himself and on his own.”
Then he made a fist: “But now, is it strong enough, big enough, solid enough? It seems so doesn’t it?””
—Jacques Roumain (1907–1945)
“I am making a collection of the things my opponents have found me to be and, when this election is over, I am going to open a museum and put them on display.”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
