The Samsung/Radio Shack 500 is a week-long celebration of NASCAR held every spring in Justin, Texas at the Texas Motor Speedway. Several celebrities take part in this racing festival at the Texas Motor Speedway, those making an appearance at a recent Samsung/Radio Shack 500 include Troy Aikman and Britney Spears.

The Samsung 500 in April, and the Dickies 500 in November are the two NASCAR Sprint Cup Series races at Texas. Also, the NASCAR Nationwide series racers will be there for the O’Reilly 300 in April and the O’Reilly Challenge in November. The NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series will also in Texas for two races: the Sam’s Town 400 in June and the Silverado 350K in November.

The Samsung 500 only comes around once a year and starts early in the NASCAR season. Just weeks after the Daytona 500, the Samsung 500 offers a chance for NASCAR drivers to get an early edge on the competition. But it isn’t easy and nobody dominates this race. In fact, in the first dozen years of its existence the Samsung 500 saw just as many winners. Names like Greg Biffle, Matt Kenseth, and Dale Earnhardt Jr. highlight the winners list of the Samsung 500.

The Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth, Texas is dubbed “The Great American Speedway” and is the 2nd largest sports facility in America. Construction on this 1.5 mile, intermediate, quad oval track began in 1995. Basically, it has been referred to as an intermediate track, or a cookie cutter. Texas Motor Speedway was once considered the fastest non-restrictor plate track on the NASCAR circuit, with qualifying speeds in excess of 192 mph and corner entry speeds over 200 mph. However, as the tracks' respective racing surfaces continue to wear, qualifying speeds at Atlanta have become consistently faster.

You will likely see the same cast of characters at the front of the pack- Jimmie Johnson, Tony Stewart, Jeff Gordon, Matt Kenseth, Kyle Busch, and Jeff Burton. Which star of NASCAR will get to wear the cowboy hat and fire the six-shooters in Victory Lane. Bet Samsung - Radio Shack 500 Odds Today

2009 Samsung/RadioShack 500 Results

Jeff Gordon won the Samsung 500 on Sunday at Texas Motor Speedway.

Texas Motor Speedway has bit the four-time champ more times than he'd like to remember. In the Samsung 500 last year, the sleep-deprived new father spun off of Turn 4 on Lap 109 and finished 43rd. Gordon's only other last-place Cup finish also came in this race at Texas in 1999 when the No. 24 car's tire blew on Lap 70 in Turn 4 — experiencing a vicious hit that haunted him for years.

But Sunday's run was nearly flawless. Gordon started from the front row and took the lead on the first lap. He led six times throughout the race for a total of 105 laps. However, it was his ability to regain the lead out of the pits for the sixth and final time on Lap 307 that enabled Gordon to end the drought and score his 82nd career victory.
