February 26th: FBG Racing's Matt Kenseth held off Griffin Motorsports's Jimmie Johnson to win the Auto Parts 500 in Fontana, California. After the two strongest cars on the track both went to the garage for engine troubles (GM's Greg Biffle and FBG captain Tony Stewart), Kenseth made a two-tire pit stop in the dwindling laps of the race and beat Johnson to the line during a green-white-checkered finish.
