The 2006 Dodge Charger 500 was a Nextel Cup Series (now Sprint Cup) event held at Darlington Speedway on May 13, 2006. Jeff Gordon was quickly drawing a line on Greg Biffle in the closing laps, but traffic in the form of Dave Blaney delayed the charge just enough for Biffle to grab his first win of the year. Points leader Jimmie Johnson finished 4th to hold a 93-point lead on Tony Stewart (12th). Stats
