•Juan Pablo Montoya will attempt to be the first driver ever to race in all three
featured races at the Speedway – the Indianapolis 500, United States Grand Prix and
Allstate 400 at the Brickyard. 2000 Indy 500 winner Montoya joins 1985 Indy 500
winner Danny Sullivan as the only drivers ever to race in Formula One anywhere and
compete in an Indianapolis 500 and Allstate 400 at the Brickyard.

•The last two winners of the Allstate 400 at the Brickyard (Jimmie Johnson '06, Tony
Stewart '05) went on to win the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup title. Others who did are Jeff
Gordon (1998, 2001), Bobby Labonte (2000) and Dale Jarrett (1999).

•Five Indianapolis 500 veterans are on the entry list – John Andretti, J.J. Yeley, Juan
Pablo Montoya, Tony Stewart and Robby Gordon.

•Roush Fenway Racing has failed to win on only two current NASCAR NEXTEL Cup
tracks – Chicagoland Speedway and the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Penske Racing
has a record 14 Indianapolis 500 wins and has yet to win an Allstate 400 at the
Brickyard.

•Juan Pablo Montoya is the first Indianapolis 500 winner to run the Allstate 400 at
the Brickyard since A.J. Foyt Jr. and Danny Sullivan in the inaugural race in 1994.

more than 800, led by his father, Richard's, 1,185. Entrants Ricky Rudd and Terry
Labonte are also above 800.

•Jeff Gordon has led the most Allstate 400s at the Brickyard (9), most times (28)
and most laps (433). Bill Elliott has led six races and 12 times, second in both
categories. Dale Jarrett has led 186 laps, second in that category. Fifty-six drivers
