The 2000 Pennzoil 400 was a NASCAR Winston Cup event that occurred on November 12, 2000. The race is known for Bobby Labonte clinching his first Winston Cup title by finishing 4th. Tony Stewart won the race, leading 166 of the 267 laps run. Steve Park was on the Pole.

Lasting for three hours and eight minutes, the race would be slowed down four times for a duration of 25 laps; or 9% of the total race. The average green flag duration was slightly more than 48 laps. Six drivers were involved in terminal crashes; including last-place finisher Scott Pruett. Eight drivers failed to qualify for this race; including Kyle Petty. Morgan Shepherd withdrew from the race even though he had a good chance of qualifying.[2]

The race was televised by NBC Sports for the second consecutive year. Its coverage team for this event would consist mostly of the same personnel that would begin broadcasting races for the network as part of its entry into full-time NASCAR broadcasting in 2001. Allen Bestwick, who had also broadcast the 1999 edition of this race for NBC, was the lead commentator in the race. Making his debut for NBC as the analyst was soon-to-be-former ESPN analyst Benny Parsons. Marty Snider and Mike Massaro would again be the pit reporters; this was Massaro's last NASCAR race for NBC until the network regained rights to the Cup Series in 2015.
