Edwards took the lead from Johnson on lap 166 (out of 200) and never lost it. Martin Truex Jr. finished second; he now had a three-race span in which he finished 1st, 3rd, and 2nd. Tony Stewart rallied from the 41st starting position to finish 3rd. The remaining Top 5 drivers were Casey Mears and Dale Earnhardt Jr., who would be teammates at Hendrick Motorsports in 2008.

Michigan International Speedway has been a Ford dominated track starting in 1984, and a Mercury track before that from 1969 to 1978. It was also a track that suited a smooth driver or a driver that could change his driving tactics for Michigan International Speedway.
