2007 Chevy Rock & Roll 400
Richmond International Raceway
September 8, 2007

The 26th race of the 2007 NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series is at Richmond International Raceway as Dale Earnhardt, Jr., Kevin Harvick, Kurt Busch, and others compete to make the Chase for the 2007 NASCAR NEXTEL Cup. The reaction of Junior missing the Chase was huge and in my opinion was another step towards the downfall of DEI. Due to tape length, I did not get the intro and the winner circle's interview.

Ricky Rudd crashed heavily at California Speedway the previous week, which caused him to miss the next five races starting here in Richmond. It broke his Ironman streak of 788 consecutive starts, which dated back to 1981. Kenny Wallace had to take over in this race. Jeff Gordon would go on and take the Ironman status in 2015 with 797 consecutive starts.

This is also ABC's first NEXTEL Cup race since the 2000 Brickyard 400.
