Ford 300 - Homestead, Florida
The Ford 300 , the 35th and final race of the season, took place on November 17, 2007 at Homestead-Miami Speedway in Homestead , Florida .
- Pole position: David Ragan
- Winner: Jeff Burton
- Most Leadership Laps: Kevin Harvick - 84
- Race length: 200 laps, 300 miles (482.80 kilometers)
The championship in the drivers' standings was decided before the race. The “Owner Points” evaluation (car evaluation) was almost decided. Jeff Burton, who drove the number 29, only had to start the engine and thus officially take part in the race to secure the title. The only interesting battle for points in the last race of the season was for tenth place in the overall standings, as only the top ten take part in the official award ceremony in December. Matt Kenseth and Mike Wallace are fighting for that position. About halfway through the race, Kenseth spun, which brought him a lap deficit, but with good strategy and a lot of luck he managed to get back to the front and finish the race in third place. That brought Kenseth tenth place overall.
Jeff Burton won for the fifth time in the 2007 season. Second was Busch Series winning driver Mark Martin , who made one of his three starts for Hendrick Motorsports . David Ragan, who started from pole position, spun in the pit entrance during his last scheduled pit stop and finished the race in 33rd place.
