The Dickies 500 is a NASCAR Nextel Cup stock car race held at the Texas Motor Speedway in Justin, Texas, USA. The inaugural race took place on November 6, 2005.
The race was acquired as a result of the Ferko lawsuit, which forced NASCAR to relinquish the sport's fourth major, the Mountain Dew Southern 500.
