After closely trailing Matt Kenseth for 13 laps, Jeff Burton slipped by Kenseth coming off turn two on the final lap around the 1.5-mile speedway. It was Burton’s first win of the 2007 NASCAR Nextel Cup season, and the 19th of his fourteen-year career.

Burton praised the 2003 Champion after their intense yet clean battle to the finish.

“Matt’s really good,” Burton said. “He did a great job of putting his car in a position where he could get the most speed out of it. He wasn’t where I wanted to be, but it prevented me from being where I wanted to be on the exit of the corner.”

Jeff Gordon led 173 of the 334, however he was unable to seal the deal and win his first race of the season, and his first win at the Texas Motor Speedway. Gordon seemed almost crestfallen after his fourth place finish.
