2005 Sony HD 500
The 2005 Sony HD 500 was a NASCAR Nextel Cup Series stock car race held on September 4, 2005 at California Speedway in Fontana, California. Contested over 254 laps on the asphalt D-shaped oval, it was the twenty-fifth race of the 2005 NASCAR Nextel Cup Series season. The race was extended from 250 laps because of a green–white–checkered finish.
Kyle Busch of Hendrick Motorsports won the race, his first career Cup Series victory, becoming the youngest Cup Series race winner at the time; he would hold the record until Joey Logano won the 2009 Lenox Industrial Tools 301. Carl Edwards would earn his first pole position during qualifying.
