The Samsung 500 is a NASCAR Sprint Cup race held at the Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth, Texas USA. There were 12 different winners in the first 12 races, the longest such streak for any NASCAR track. Jeff Burton, the winner of the first Cup race, broke that streak by getting his second Texas win in a last lap pass in 2007.
RadioShack and Samsung sponsored the race between 2002 and 2006; the joint sponsorship was grandfathered in 2003 by NASCAR's grandfather clause when Nextel became a NASCAR sponsor, as they banned rival wireless sponsorships (Nextel uses Motorola exclusively); the ban was lifted after the 2005 merger of Sprint and Nextel because Sprint is sold at RadioShack, and Sprint offers Samsung products.
