• La squadra 36 solitamente guidata da Jeremy Mayfield gestiva Infineon come 23 con Butch Leitzinger al volante. Lo sponsor di Mayfield, 360 OTC, aveva un accordo con Bill Davis Racing e Caterpillar Inc. affinché il 36 corresse come 23 con Leitzinger, perché la California è lo stato di origine di Caterpillar. I 36 sarebbero tornati la gara successiva.
