Felipe Giaffone took the win from Casey Mears. A closely fought race saw Tony Renna take third. The race was action packed with many unscheduled pit stops among the teams. Kane was forced to pit for a new steering arm on the front right of the car. Unfortunately the pack passed while Kane was in the pits putting him a lap down and it was then decided to call it a day.

Felipe Giaffone, piloto del equipo Volkswagen Camiones y Ómnibus, es el Campeón de la Fórmula Truck en 2007. El domingo, en Brasilia, él llegó en cuarto lugar en la última etapa de la temporada, acumulando 157 puntos, 24 más queso más cercano seguidor, Roberval Andrade. Entre las marcas, Volkswagen Camiones y Ómnibus conquistó el título, con la marca récord de 369 puntos, 152 más que el segundo puesto. Esta fue la primera conquista en la Fórmula Truck del ex-piloto de la Fórmula Indy, quien este año hizo su primera temporada completa en la categoría, en la cual estrenó en 2005, disputando no más que algunas etapas del Campeonato. El título de Giaffone vino en una extraordinaria temporada: cuatro victorias y otros tres podios en nueve etapas. La primera de ellas vino justamente en la etapa más importante del año, en Interlagos, en donde Felipe prefirió correr en la Truck aun habiendo sido invitado a disputar su octava “500 Millas de Indianápolis”.
