The all-star roster included thirteen drivers (in twelve cars) from seven premier racing series. [Tony Stewart](/source/Tony_Stewart) consistently ran up front and won two races to win the championship, ahead of the equally consistent [Matt Kenseth](/source/Matt_Kenseth) by 12 points. As with the past two seasons, the drivers used their car colors and numbers from their native series (when feasible). This was also the first IROC season since 1991 to include a road course race (held on the [Daytona International Speedway](/source/Daytona_International_Speedway) road course). The roster of drivers and final points standings were as follows:[1] ## Drivers Car Number Driver Series 1 Ted Musgrave NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series 6 Mark Martin NASCAR Nextel Cup Series 06 Sam Hornish Jr. Indy Racing League 8 Martin Truex Jr. NASCAR Busch Series 08 Scott Sharp Indy Racing League 10 Wayne Taylor 2 Max Angelelli 2 Grand-Am Rolex Sports Car 11 Steve Kinser World of Outlaws 12 Ryan Newman NASCAR Nextel Cup Series 16 Max Papis Grand-Am Rolex Sports Car 17 Matt Kenseth NASCAR Nextel Cup Series 20 Tony Stewart NASCAR Nextel Cup Series 46 Frank Kimmel ARCA RE/MAX Series Note: Initially [Carl Edwards](/source/Carl_Edwards) was announced as a driver for the 2006 season. Due to a conflict with the [NASCAR Busch Series](/source/NASCAR_Xfinity_Series) race at [Memphis International Raceway](/source/Memphis_International_Raceway) in October, Edwards withdrew from IROC and was replaced by Ryan Newman.[2] ## Results ### Race One ([Daytona International Speedway](/source/Daytona_International_Speedway) oval) 1. 17- [Matt Kenseth](/source/Matt_Kenseth) 1. 06- [Sam Hornish Jr.](/source/Sam_Hornish_Jr.) 1. 46- [Frank Kimmel](/source/Frank_Kimmel) 1. 16- [Max Papis](/source/Max_Papis) 1. 8- [Martin Truex Jr.](/source/Martin_Truex_Jr.) 1. 10- [Wayne Taylor](/source/Wayne_Taylor) 1. 11- [Steve Kinser](/source/Steve_Kinser) 1. 20- [Tony Stewart](/source/Tony_Stewart) 1. 08- [Scott Sharp](/source/Scott_Sharp) 1. 1- [Ted Musgrave](/source/Ted_Musgrave) 1. 12- [Ryan Newman](/source/Ryan_Newman_(racing_driver)) 1. 6- [Mark Martin](/source/Mark_Martin_(NASCAR)) ### Race Two ([Texas Motor Speedway](/source/Texas_Motor_Speedway)) 1. 20- [Tony Stewart](/source/Tony_Stewart) 1. 12- [Ryan Newman](/source/Ryan_Newman_(racing_driver)) 1. 8- [Martin Truex Jr.](/source/Martin_Truex_Jr.) 1. 6- [Mark Martin](/source/Mark_Martin_(NASCAR)) 1. 17- [Matt Kenseth](/source/Matt_Kenseth) 1. 10- [Max Angelelli](/source/Max_Angelelli) 1. 08- [Scott Sharp](/source/Scott_Sharp) 1. 46- [Frank Kimmel](/source/Frank_Kimmel) 1. 1- [Ted Musgrave](/source/Ted_Musgrave) 1. 16- [Max Papis](/source/Max_Papis) 1. 11- [Steve Kinser](/source/Steve_Kinser) 1. 06- [Sam Hornish Jr.](/source/Sam_Hornish_Jr.) ### Race Three ([Daytona International Speedway](/source/Daytona_International_Speedway) road course) 1. 20- [Tony Stewart](/source/Tony_Stewart) 1. 16- [Max Papis](/source/Max_Papis) 1. 12- [Ryan Newman](/source/Ryan_Newman_(racing_driver)) 1. 08- [Scott Sharp](/source/Scott_Sharp) 1. 06- [Sam Hornish Jr.](/source/Sam_Hornish_Jr.) 1. 8- [Martin Truex Jr.](/source/Martin_Truex_Jr.) 1. 10- [Max Angelelli](/source/Max_Angelelli) 1. 46- [Frank Kimmel](/source/Frank_Kimmel) 1. 6- [Mark Martin](/source/Mark_Martin_(NASCAR)) 1. 17-[Matt Kenseth](/source/Matt_Kenseth) 1. 11- [Steve Kinser](/source/Steve_Kinser) 1. 1- [Ted Musgrave](/source/Ted_Musgrave) ### Race Four ([Atlanta Motor Speedway](/source/Atlanta_Motor_Speedway)) 1. 8- [Martin Truex Jr.](/source/Martin_Truex_Jr.) 1. 17- [Matt Kenseth](/source/Matt_Kenseth) 1. 20- [Tony Stewart](/source/Tony_Stewart) 1. 12- [Ryan Newman](/source/Ryan_Newman_(racing_driver)) 1. 1- [Ted Musgrave](/source/Ted_Musgrave) 1. 6- [Mark Martin](/source/Mark_Martin_(NASCAR)) 1. 46- [Frank Kimmel](/source/Frank_Kimmel) 1. 16- [Max Papis](/source/Max_Papis) 1. 06- [Sam Hornish Jr.](/source/Sam_Hornish_Jr.) 1. 11- [Steve Kinser](/source/Steve_Kinser) 1. 10- [Wayne Taylor](/source/Wayne_Taylor) 1. 08- [Scott Sharp](/source/Scott_Sharp) ## Standings Pos.
