The 2005 Chevy Rock & Roll 400 was the 26th stock car race of the 2005 NASCAR Nextel Cup Series season, the final race of the regular season, and the 48th iteration of the event. The race was held on Saturday, September 10, 2005, before a sold-out crowd of 107,000 in Richmond, Virginia, at Richmond International Raceway, a 0.75 miles (1.21 km) D-shaped oval. The race took the scheduled 400 laps to complete. At race's end, Kurt Busch of Roush Racing would take control of the race in the late stages of the race to win his 14th career NASCAR Nextel Cup Series win and his third and final win of the season.[1] To fill out the podium, Busch's teammates, Matt Kenseth and Greg Biffle would finish second and third, respectively.

The ten drivers who would make the second edition of the Chase for the Nextel Cup were Tony Stewart, Greg Biffle, Rusty Wallace, Jimmie Johnson, Kurt Busch, Mark Martin, Jeremy Mayfield, Carl Edwards, Matt Kenseth, and Ryan Newman.[2]

Qualifying

Qualifying was held on Friday, September 9, at 6:10 PM EST. Each driver would have two laps to set a fastest time; the fastest of the two would count as their official qualifying lap.[3]

Kevin Harvick of Richard Childress Racing would win the pole, setting a lap of 21.024 and an average speed of 128.425 miles per hour (206.680 km/h).[5]

Kirk Shelmerdine would crash on his second lap coming into turn 3, spinning and hitting the Turn 3-4 wall. While he had set a lap time, the time was not good enough to get him into the race, making Shelmerdine not qualify for the race.[6]

Seven drivers would fail to qualify: Wayne Peterson, Stanton Barrett, Carl Long, Hermie Sadler, Morgan Shepherd, Joey McCarthy, and Kirk Shelmerdine.
