You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

The '''2007 Ford 400''' was a [[NASCAR]] [[Nextel Cup Series]] stock car [[Ford EcoBoost 400|race]] that was held on November 18, 2007 at [[Homestead-Miami Speedway]] in [[Homestead, Florida]]. The 267-lap race was the thirty-sixth in the [[2007 NASCAR Nextel Cup Series]], as well as the final race in the [[2007 Chase for the Nextel Cup|ten-race Chase for the Nextel Cup]], which ended the season.

The race was historic for several reasons:
*The race was the last to use the current [[Template (racing)|template]] for NASCAR's premier series, based on the 1966 [[Ford Fairlane (Americas)|Ford Fairlane]] run by the [[Holman-Moody|Holman-Moody Racing]] team. Starting in [[2008 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series|2008]], NASCAR used the [[Car of Tomorrow]] template full-time, one year ahead of the originally planned schedule. Those cars became standard in the [[Xfinity Series|Nationwide Series]] February 2009.
*The series ran under the "Nextel Cup" banner for the last time. Starting in 2008, as per the merger of [[Sprint Nextel]], the series changed to the "NASCAR Sprint Cup.”
*The season-long championship was decided after the completion of this race. After the [[2007 Checker Auto Parts 500|Checker Auto Parts 500]], [[Jimmie Johnson]] led [[Jeff Gordon]] by 86 points, with both drivers eligible to clinch the season championship. It would be [[Rick Hendrick]]'s seventh championship. Johnson needed to finish better than 18th (without leading a lap), 19th (leading a lap) or 21st (leading the most laps) to clinch his second consecutive championship.
*The race also marked the last appearance of the No. 25 [[Hendrick Motorsports]] car. Since making its debut in the [[1986 Daytona 500]], the car had been raced by eleven drivers in 656 races, winning seventeen. Its most recent win was by [[Casey Mears]] in the [[2007 Coca-Cola 600]]. The points for this car transferred over to the new No. 88 [[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]] ride for 2008. The current No. 88, piloted by [[Ricky Rudd]], who retired after this race, and owned by [[Yates Racing]], became the No. 28 again in 2008 with [[Travis Kvapil]] in the drivers' seat. While [[Dale Jarrett]] was in the seat, they won the 1999 Cup championship (then under [[Winston (cigarette)|Winston]] sponsorship).
*The three-way battle for the 35th spot in owners points also concluded here. Holding down that 35th spot was the No. 22 Toyota of [[Bill Davis Racing]], driven by [[Dave Blaney]]. Behind them by 136 points was the No. 21 Ford of [[Wood Brothers/JTG Racing]], driven by [[Bill Elliott]]. Ahead of the No. 22 was the No. 45 Dodge of [[Petty Enterprises]], driven by [[Kyle Petty]], but they were only ahead by 29 points. At the conclusion of this race, the teams that held the 35th spot was guaranteed a starting position in the first five races of 2008, including the [[2008 Daytona 500]].

==Pre-race news==
*[[Todd Bodine]] drove the No. 4 [[Morgan-McClure Motorsports]] ride, replacing [[Ward Burton]], but failed to qualify, thus ending their 2007 season. [[Johnny Benson]] put the No. 36 [[Bill Davis Racing]] 360 OTC [[Toyota Camry]] into the race.

==Qualifying==
With a lap of 30.545 seconds at a speed of ((convert|176.788|mph|abbr=on)), points leader [[Jimmie Johnson]] moved one step closer to winning his second consecutive championship by winning the final pole award under [[Anheuser-Busch]] sponsorship. Johnson's main rival, teammate [[Jeff Gordon]], started 11th, two-time Homestead winner [[Tony Stewart]] started 14th, and defending three-time winner [[Greg Biffle]] started 37th.

'''Failed to qualify:''' [[A. J. Allmendinger]] (84), [[John Andretti]] (49), [[Joe Nemechek]] (78), [[Michael Waltrip]] (55), [[Todd Bodine]] (4), [[Burney Lamar]] (08, crashed in qualifying).

==Race==
[[Matt Kenseth]] won the race, celebrating by doing burnouts with his race car. Jimmie Johnson finished seventh, and won the 2007 Nextel Cup championship by 77 points over Jeff Gordon, and also did burnouts with Kenseth.

==Notes==
*This was the last race for [[Joe Gibbs Racing]] using the [[Chevrolet]], from 2008 onwards, they switched to [[Toyota]].
