Jeremy Mayfield gave Evernham Motorsports their 2nd Nextel Cup win of the the year at the GFS Marketplace 400 at the Michigan International Speedway in Sparta, MI. In a battle of wills, Mayfield took a 20th place car to the win by outlasting everyone in a fuel milage matchup.
There were 7 cautions in the race but none in the last 51 laps. This is where Mayfield took advantage of the rest of the field. One by one the other cars entered the pits for fuel. But there was Mayfield moving up one spot at a time until finally he took over 1st with 6 laps to go. Nursing his car around the track with 3 laps to go his car started to sputter. But he had just too much of a lead to be caught by any of the freshly fueled pursuers.
After taking the checkered flag, Mayfield managed a slow victory lap, and subsequently blew both rear tires in his celebratory burnout.
