the chevy silverado 350k was held october 31 at texas motor speedway in fort worth, texas. rick crawford won the pole. the sparks flew early on lap 2 as travis kvapil, attempting a three wide pass, pushed rookie cale gale into the left side of crawford's truck. gale's resultant spin forced t. j. bell to hit his brakes, but todd bodine couldn't avoid bell and tapped him up the track while also turning jon wood into the wall. gale's car steered from the wall and hit bell's rear quarter panel, sending him into the fence. at lap 51, spring texas winner ron hornaday passed kyle busch for the lead. while hornaday was pitting on lap 56, jack smith spun on the backstretch, pinning hornaday a lap down. 10 laps later hornaday would be in 16th thanks to a caution. hornaday would charge to the lead, passing kvapil on lap 108 and holding off busch to sweep at texas and cut johnny benson's point lead down to only six points.
