Race recap
The eighth Chase race, the Dickies 500, was run on November 5, 2006 at Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth, Texas. Brian Vickers, the last car to qualify, edged Elliott Sadler, next to last to take time, for the pole in this race. After a DNF in Martinsville just two races ago, Jeff Burton lost an engine and fell more than 60 laps down; after more than one hour of repair, Burton finished 38th. Another chaser, Mark Martin spun out after Ken Schrader cut a tire on lap 174, resulting in a 22nd-place finish for Martin. With less than 11 laps to go, chaser Kasey Kahne's engine expired causing the 11th caution period and finished 33rd with a 2nd straight DNF. With a few laps to go, Kevin Harvick spun Scott Riggs to cause a caution and the race went into a green–white–checkered finish. On the final restart, Tony Stewart held off Jimmie Johnson to win. Following the race, Craig Curione, the front tire carrier for the No. 10 Evernham Dodge of Riggs, shoved Harvick, his wife Delana and NASCAR official John Sacco to the pavement after Harvick was blamed for a late race incident that led to the green–white–checkered finish. Curione was suspended indefinitely, fired from Evernham Motorsports, and fined $10,000 by NASCAR, while Sacco suffered a sprained ankle.
