The Dickies 500 is a NASCAR Sprint Cup stock car race held at the Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth, Texas, USA. The inaugural race took place on November 6, 2005. The race is held on the first weekend in November each year; TMS has expressed interest in changing the date, which is also the opening weekend of deer hunting season in 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 has been derisively referred to as the Francis Ferko 500, mostly by traditionalist fans upset by the demise of the Southern 500.

This race is featured in the 2006 film where on the last lap Ricky Bobby spins out with Jamie McMurray and McMurray continues but Bobby puts the car in revese and wins backwards. The filming was actually at Lowe's Motor Speedway with the wall painted to look like Texas.
