The 2005 Dickies 500 was the inaugural running of the Dickies 500 NASCAR Nextel Cup Series stock car race, which was held on November 6, 2005 at Texas Motor Speedway (TMS) in Fort Worth, Texas.
The race was acquired as a result of the Ferko lawsuit, which forced NASCAR to relinquish the sport's fourth major, the Mountain Dew Southern 500 and in the process end its Grand Slam, as the Southern 500 was one of the four races that made it up.

This race is featured in the 2006 film Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby where on the last lap Ricky Bobby spins out with Jamie McMurray and McMurray continues but Bobby puts the car in reverse and wins backwards.
