A Pontiac GTO driven by Chris Brannon, who had five national wins during the season, finished 11th in the Touring 2 race after suffering a crash earlier in the week.

GM Performance Division provided on-site engineering technical support for all GM vehicles competing in the Touring and Showroom Stock classes during the 2006 Runoffs, and paid $19,000 in contingency money to the GM-powered drivers who finished in the top three of their class or qualified on the pole. The Division's cadre of engineers and technicians sourced any needed parts through Superior Chevrolet's on-site parts truck and also through a Topeka Chevrolet dealer.
