AutoWeek.com mentions the $1 million bonus for a Dodge Team winning the race was announced the morning of the race:
" On race morning, Chrysler Chairman and CEO Bob Nardelli announced Dodge Motorsports would award a $1 million bonus to the team that would put their Dodge in victory lane. Nardelli, the former CEO of Home Depot, felt confident of paying out the money. But many suggested the odds were stacked up against the Chargers
While the Gibbs Toyotas and Hendrick Chevys had mixed results, the surprise of the race came from the Dodges. Six Chargers finished in the top-eight, showing a turnaround in its superspeedway program. Chip Ganassi Racing's Reed Sorenson finished fifth while Gillett Evernham Motorsports teammates Elliott Sadler and Kasey Kahne came home sixth and seventh. Robby Gordon, who made the switch to Dodge just two weeks ago, finished eighth. Other strong Dodge runners included Bobby Labonte in 11th and rookie Sam Hornish Jr. in a third Penske entry finishing a career-best 15th. "
