Hendrick Motorsports has been dominating the 2007 Nextel Cup Series by winning eight out of the ten races prior to the Coca-Cola 600. Superstars Jimmie Johnson and Jeff Gordon have been winning races this season for the team. At the Coca-Cola 600 though, it was Casey Mears who brought home the win for the team. The win gave the driver his first bets performance so far in the Nextel Cup. This win also ended his unfortunate streak of winless races which has stretched for 155 races.
