CUP: This Time, Mike Bliss’ Post-Entry Saves Jimmie Johnson From First Last-Place Finish

SOURCE: NASCAR

Mike Bliss picked up the 15th last-place finish of his NASCAR Sprint Cup Series career in Sunday’s Camping World RV Sales 301 at the New Hampshire Motor Speedway when his #93 Dr. Pepper Toyota fell out with electrical problems after he completed 6 of the race’s 305 laps.

The finish is Bliss’ first of the 2014 season and his first since this exact race last year, 36 races ago.  It is also Bliss’ 20th last-place finish across NASCAR’s top three divisions, giving him sole possession of the record for 9th-most all-time.

The 2013 running of the 301-miler was Bliss’ final start in the unsponsored #19 Toyota fielded by Humphrey-Smith Racing.  The team was co-owned by Mark Smith, owner TriStar Motorsports, which fielded the same number for Bliss in the Nationwide Series, and Randy Humphrey.  The car qualified for 15 of the season’s first 22 races, but finished under power just once - the season-best 29th by Alex Kennedy at Watkins Glen.

After three DNQs and a withdrawal at Chicago, Humphrey-Smith Racing ceased operations, surrendering the LASTCAR title to Phil Parsons Racing and driver Michael McDowell.  Humphrey then prepared to start his own team in 2014 with Dave Blaney behind the wheel of the #77.  Bliss, meanwhile, finished out his third consecutive season with TriStar in the Nationwide Series and prepared for a fourth in 2014.

Coming into last week’s race, Bliss had not started a Cup Series race since last fall at Atlanta, when he drove the #51 Phoenix Racing entry in relief of Bobby Labonte, the Texan driver injured in a bicycling accident.  However, his performances in the Nationwide Series have continued to improve with ten finishes inside the Top 20 in seventeen starts, including a season-best 10th at Road America.

One week after the Road America race, only 42 cars were entered for the Cup Series race at Kentucky.  Among them were three rookie drivers all fielded by BK Racing - Alex Bowman, Ryan Truex, and Cole Whitt, the latter acquired from the collapse of Swan Racing heading into Richmond.  With the threat of the first short field since 2001, BK entered a fourth car in Kentucky - one of Bowman’s backup cars with #93 decals from 2013 applied in place of the rookie driver’s #23.  Bliss, tabbed to drive the car, still found himself in a short field after the subsequent withdrawal of Xxxtreme Motorsports and their #44 of J.J. Yeley.  Bliss finished 41st of 42 at Kentucky, pulling out three laps after Denny Hamlin’s race-ending crash.

At Loudon, the #44 withdrew once more, joining Clay Rogers, who was looking to make his Cup Series debut in his family-owned #75 Beard Oil Chevrolet.  Once again, BK re-entered Bliss and the #93, and this time kept the field at 43 cars.  After running 41st-fastest in the opening practice, Bliss timed in 41st for Sunday’s field at an average speed of 130.779 mph.  He did not turn a lap in either of Saturday’s two practice sessions.

Tire problems marred the weekend with both Greg Biffle and Jimmie Johnson struggling with left-rear tire issues.  Johnson’s sent him to pit road for an unscheduled stop on Lap 7, dropping him a lap down after starting on the outside-pole.  At the moment Johnson pulled back on track, the cameras caught Bliss making the hard left-hand turn into the garage area, his day done.  His exit was timely for Johnson, who five laps later exploded a left-rear tire and collided with the wall in Turn 1, leaving him with his second-consecutive 42nd-place finish.  Johnson is still without a last-place finish in 454 Cup starts.

Finishing 41st on Sunday was Timmy Hill, making his fifth start of 2014 and his first since his season-best 36th at Pocono, five races ago.  Hill drove the #87 fielded by Identity Ventures Racing (formerly NEMCO Motorsports / NEMCO-JRR), a car that hadn’t been fielded in a Cup race since Las Vegas in March.  At Loudon, as at Las Vegas, Jeff Burton drove the #66 for IVR, yet team owner Joe Nemechek was noticeably absent from both the Cup and Nationwide fields - perhaps due to his son’s competing in the weekend’s Truck Series race at Iowa.  Hill struggled early before electrical issues ended his day just short of the one-third mark.

Rounding out the Bottom Five were Joey Logano and Morgan Shepherd, both involved in a controversial accident in the closing stages.  Shepherd, making his first start for Circle Sport in the #33 Thunder Coal Chevrolet, successfully extended his record from Phoenix in March as the oldest driver to start a Cup Series race at age 72 years, 9 months, and 1 day.  Unfortunately, Shepherd struggled to find speed in practice and qualifying, and he lost a lap early on Sunday.  On Lap 212, just after letting 2nd-place Joey Logano by to his outside entering Turn 3, Shepherd lost control and collided with Logano, sending the #22 into the outside wall.  It was Logano’s second wreck of the weekend, following a practice crash on Friday.  In a post-wreck interview, Logano expressed frustration about Shepherd’s speed.  Shepherd did, however, maintain minimum speed, and finished under power, 27 laps down, at the finish.

LASTCAR STATISTICS
*This is the first last-place finish for the #93 in a Cup Series race since August 26, 2000, when Dave Blaney’s Amoco Pontiac crashed after 49 laps of the goracing.com 500 at Bristol.  It is the second for BK Racing this season, joining Ryan Truex’s last-place run at Kansas, eight races ago.
*This is the first time a Cup Series last-place finisher was listed as out due to “electrical” issues since the 2012 Ford 400, the season finale at Homestead, which Bliss himself exited after 19 laps while driving Mark Smith’s #19 Plinker Tactical Toyota.

N’WIDE: Matt DiBenedetto Pulls In Early To Relieve Earnhardt at Loudon

SOURCE: Mike Neff, Frontstretch

Matt DiBenedetto picked up the 2nd last-place finish of his NASCAR Nationwide Series career in Saturday’s Sta-Green 200 at the New Hampshire Motor Speedway when his unsponsored #46 The Motorsports Group Chevrolet fell out with brake problems after he completed 1 of the race’s 200 laps.

The finish is DiBendetto’s second of the 2014 season and his first since Kentucky, two races ago.

Forty-one teams were on the entry list for Saturday’s race, but after Carl Long lost the engine on his #13, the team withdrew, and the remainder of the field made the race.  After running 27th in the first practice and 33rd in Happy Hour, DiBenedetto timed in 26th for the race at an average speed of 125.182 mph.  Though fifth-fastest of the eleven “go-or-go-homers” who entered and two spots ahead of teammate Josh Wise in TMG’s #40, DiBenedetto was not only slated to park his entry, but was sought as a relief driver.

Prior to last Friday’s race at Daytona, Jeffrey Earnhardt, driver of JD Motorsports’ #4 Chevrolet, broke his collarbone in a motorcycle accident.  DiBenedetto, who failed to make the show in the rain-shortened qualifying session, relieved Earnhardt and brought the car home 33rd.  At Loudon, with a car in the field, DiBenedetto pulled out almost immediately after just one lap, allowing him to relieve Earnhardt again after an early caution.  This time, DiBenedetto brought the #4 home in 23rd.

Blake Koch, still the leader by three finishes in the 2014 LASTCAR Nationwide Series Championship, fell out three laps later, just as Trevor Bayne’s spin in Turn 2 brought out the first yellow of the afternoon.  DiBenedetto’s teammate Josh Wise lost the clutch and stopped the #40 on the apron of the backstretch, bringing out the second yellow flag.  Rounding out the Bottom Five were Harrison Rhodes, giving James Carter’s #72 team its second start of the season, and Iowa last-placer Ryan Ellis in his first start for JGL Racing.

TRUCKS: Debut For Tommy Regan and #45 Team Ends On Iowa’s Opening Lap

SOURCE: Associated Press

Tommy Regan picked up the 1st last-place finish of his NASCAR Camping World Truck Series career in Friday's American Ethanol 200 presented by Enogen at the Iowa Speedway when his #45 JD2 Shark Welding / American Tactical Chevrolet fell out with ignition problems on the opening lap of the 200-lap race.  The finish came in Regan’s series debut.

A native of Tracy, California (not far from LASTCAR's home base), Regan has four starts in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series West with a best finish of 19th at the All American Speedway in nearby Roseville in 2012.  Looking to make the jump into NASCAR’s big leagues, Regan set his sights on a Truck Series start at Iowa with his single-truck team, Regan Motorsports, with B.J. McLeod as the listed team owner.

McLeod, a Truck Series driver with fourteen series starts from 2010 through his 25th-place finish for Bobby Dotter in this spring’s race at Texas, would make his first start as a team owner at Iowa with Regan behind the wheel.  That is, if the team could out-qualify two of the 38 teams entered for the first full Truck Series field since Martinsville in the spring.  However, after the withdrawal of Richie Wauters’ #5 team following the departure of driver John Wes Townley and of Mike Mittler’s “start-and-park” #36 RAM, Regan and McLeod were guaranteed a starting spot for Friday’s race.

The #45 truck went through a couple different looks before it hit the track.  The original design, according to the team’s website, featured two bright red guns on each side and a decimal in front of the “45 caliber” numbers on the doors.  However, by the time the truck rolled on the track at Iowa, the gun decals were gone, replaced by large white door numbers and sponsor graphics.  The truck itself remained a pre-2014 Chevrolet, as with many other single-truck and underfunded teams this season.

Building on the team’s test at the Motor Mile Speedway, Regan showed speed early, timing in 31st in the weekend’s only practice session, beating five other “go-or-go-homers” in the process.  He qualified even better, timing in 28th at an average speed of 128.719 mph.

However, Regan didn’t have much time to show that speed in the race.  According to a trackside report from a fan sitting near the entrance to pit road, Regan was on the grid for the race, but immediately pulled down pit road on the very first lap.  Citing ignition issues, Regan’s first Truck Series start was over as quickly as it had started.

Regan beat two LASTCAR contenders for 2014 - the Jennifer Jo Cobb-owned #0 Koma Unwind RAM, this time driven by Caleb Roark, and Charles Lewandoski in Randy Young’s #42 Randco / Young’s Building Systems Chevrolet.  Rounding out the Bottom Five were two old Chevrolets - Korbin Forrister, making his third start of the season in Ken Smith’s #07 McNair, McLemore, Middlebrooks & Co. Chevrolet; and the #56 Battlefield Ford / The Sign Shop Chevrolet of owner-driver Raymond Terczak, Jr. - his first start since Dover.

LASTCAR STATISTICS
*The finish is the first for the #45 in a Truck Series race since April 17, 1999, when Rich Bickle’s 10-10-345 Ford lost the engine after 1 lap of the NAPA 250 at Martinsville.  Winning the race that day was Jimmy Hensley, driving for Petty Enterprises.  It was the beginning of a weekend sweep for the Petty’s as John Andretti took the checkers in the Cup race the next day - the last win by the #43 in Cup until Aric Almirola won last Saturday’s Coke Zero 400.

CUP: Field-Clearing Daytona Wreck Gives Allmendinger First Last-Place Finish Since 2008

SOURCE: Rubbin's Racin' Forums

A.J. Allmendinger picked up the 5th last-place finish of his NASCAR Sprint Cup Series career in Sunday’s Coke Zero 400 at the Daytona International Speedway when his #47 Scott Products Chevrolet was taken out in the first of two grinding multi-car wrecks, ending his race after 19 of 112 laps.

The finish was Allmendinger’s first of the season and his first in a Cup Series race since October 11, 2008 during the Bank of America 500 at Charlotte, 203 races ago.  That night, Allmendinger was making his first and only start for Michael Waltrip Racing when his #00 Champion Mortgage Toyota was taken out in a single-car crash entering Turn 3 on Lap 54.

At the time of that finish, Allmendinger had just been released from Team Red Bull, the start-up two-car team that gave him his break into NASCAR the previous season.  His next start of 2008 came the following week at Martinsville, where he replaced another struggling rookie, Patrick Carpentier, in Gillett-Evernham Motorsports’ #10 Dodges.  With just one finish worse than 16th in his final five starts that year, he stayed with the team when it merged with Petty Enterprises to form what is today known as Richard Petty Motorsports (RPM).  By 2010, he was driving Petty’s iconic #43, a ride he held through 2011, scoring three Top Fives and eighteen top-ten finishes.

The July race at Daytona brings mixed feelings to the California driver.  It was prior to this event, two years ago, where he was suspended following a drug test, ultimately costing him his new ride with Penske Racing in the #22 Shell / Pennzoil Dodge.  But Penske stayed with Allmendinger, affording him an IndyCar Series ride with which he led several laps in the Indianapolis 500, and a Nationwide Series entry that he took to his first two NASCAR wins at Road America and Mid-Ohio.  With these performances, plus some spirited runs in Phoenix Racing’s #51 in the Cup Series, Allmendinger moved to another single-car operation at midseason: the #47 of JTG-Daugherty Racing.

After developing as a Michael Waltrip Racing satellite team since 2009, JTG acquired a new technical alliance with Richard Childress Racing for 2014, making the move from Toyota to Chevrolet.  With Allmendinger returning to full-time competition in Cup, both driver and team have become one of the season’s biggest surprises.  He came to Daytona 22nd in points with three top-ten finishes and a season-best of 5th at Talladega.  He had the dominant car at Sonoma two weeks ago, leading a race-high 35 laps before a late crash left him 37th.  Following a 22nd the next week at Kentucky, Allmendinger was looking for a turnaround.

In Thursday’s only practice session, Allmendinger timed in 12th, and in the first and only round of qualifying, he secured the 24th starting spot with a speed of 198.015 mph.  The same persistent rain that shortened both sessions pushed Saturday’s race to Sunday, setting the stage for the first daytime Coke Zero 400 since 1997.

At the start of Saturday’s race, where David Gilliland, Reed Sorenson, Landon Cassill, and Bobby Labonte led the field to the green for four different underfunded teams, Michael Waltrip fell to the back on the first lap.  Back in the #66 Toyota, but this time running a car fielded by Joe Nemechek and Jay Robinson’s co-owned Identity Ventures Racing instead of his own equipment, Waltrip stayed in the back until disaster struck seconds before the competition caution on Lap 20.

Locked in a tight battle for 3rd coming off Turn 4, Ricky Stenhouse, Jr. lost control of his #17 Cargill Ford, saved it, then tangled with Tony Stewart and Jeff Gordon as both tried to check-up.  Stenhouse and Stewart spun into traffic, triggering a sixteen-car wreck that gobbled-up several of the leaders.  Running near the back of the pack at the time, Allmendinger lost control entering the tri-oval, where the wet grass ripped the splitter from his Chevrolet.  Allmendinger’s position on track and inability to slide across the finish line dropped him to last.  And, when his car could not be repaired, he retained the last-place finish.

The remaining members of the Bottom Five were also involved in the Lap 20 wreck.

Allmendinger’s involvement prevented 42nd-place Jimmie Johnson from scoring his first-ever Cup Series last-place finish - both their cars were the only ones unable to return to the track following the Lap 20 wreck.  Stenhouse didn’t return to the track until Lap 97, moments before an even larger 26-car wreck dwindled the field to almost nothing on Lap 99, leaving his #17 41st.  Rounding out the Bottom Five were Stewart-Haas Racing teammates Tony Stewart and Kevin Harvick, who climbed from 40th and 42nd, respectively.

Sunday also marked the first Cup Series win for Aric Almirola in his 125th career start.  Thirteen races after his most recent last-place finish at Fontana, Almirola gave the famous #43 its first win since 1999 and its first since the team became Richard Petty Motorsports in 2009.

LASTCAR STATISTICS
*This is the first Cup Series last-place finish for the #47 since last June at Sonoma, when Bobby Labonte’s Kingsford Toyota lost the engine on the opening lap of the Toyota / Save Mart 350.
*It’s the first last-place finish for the #47 in a Cup race at Daytona since October 17, 1998, when the late Billy Standridge also fell out after 19 laps of the 400-miler when his #47 TeamFansCanRace.com lost the engine.

N’WIDE: Robert Richardson, Jr.’s Backup Car Exits Early At Daytona

SOURCE: Rubbin's Racin' Forums

Robert Richardson, Jr. picked up the 2nd last-place finish of his NASCAR Nationwide Series career in Friday’s Subway Firecracker 250 at the Daytona International Speedway when his #23 Cornboard Chevrolet fell out with rear end problems after he completed 13 of the race’s 103 laps.

The finish was Richardson’s first of the 2014 season and his first since last spring at Charlotte, 39 races ago.

Prior to Daytona, Richardson had run just four races in 2014 and had finished under power only once - a season-best 31st at Las Vegas.  In the other eleven races, the #23 has been fielded by Rick Ware Racing with drivers Carlos Contreras, Timmy Hill, Josh Reaume, Ryan Ellis, and Road America’s 3rd-place finisher Kevin O’Connell.  Other than O’Connell’s finish, the car’s best finish of the year was 21st, earned by Timmy Hill in his two starts at Bristol and Dover.

Daytona proved to be even more challenging for underfunded teams.  After timing in 33rd of 45 cars in the weekend’s opening practice, Richardson and team looked to better their starting spot in qualifying.  With eight minutes to go in the first session, he joined a pack of a dozen other underfunded teams, including all of TriStar Motorsports, to make another run.  Halfway down the backstretch on the first warm-up lap, the cars discovered it was raining on the track heading into Turn 3.  Mike Bliss hit the water first and lost control, triggering a multi-car wreck.

When the wreck started, Richardson rear-ended the #91 of Benny Gordon and careened into the outside wall, severely damaging his Chevrolet.  The ensuing rainstorm cancelled the rest of qualifying, and while Richardson was able to rely on Owner Points to start 37th in the race, R3 Motorsports found itself with a damaged car and only  a few hours left to prepare the backup.  Gordon became one five drivers who missed the field.

In the race itself, Richardson fell to the rear of the field along with the backups of Mike Bliss, Scott Lagasse, Jr., and Ross Chastain.  At the green flag, Joey Gase fell to last in the #52 Vukelja Law Attorneys / Space Shuttle Inn Chevrolet.  Gase lost touch with the pack, then made an unscheduled pit stop on Lap 14 that cost him three laps.  By the time Gase returned to the track, Richardson had already pulled his backup car behind the wall, ending his night.

Gase climbed to 37th at race’s end, finishing eleven laps down to race winner Kasey Kahne.  He passed both Mike Harmon in his unsponsored #74 Dodge and Mike Bliss’ #19 backup car.  Rounding out the Bottom Five was Tanner Berryhill in his #17 National Cash Lenders Dodge.

LASTCAR STATISTICS
*Richardson is the first driver to finish last in a Nationwide Series race with “rear end” as the listed cause since May 6, 2011, when James Harvey Hylton’s #0 G&K Services Chevrolet fell out after 2 laps of the Royal Purple 200 at Darlington.  At 76 years, 8 months, and 10 days, Hylton remains NASCAR’s oldest last-place finisher.  Next Sunday at New Hampshire, Morgan Shepherd is expected to make his first Cup start since he became the oldest last-place finisher in Cup history at 72 years, 4 months, 18 days back at Phoenix.
*This was the first finish for both the #23 and for Richardson in a Nationwide Series race at Daytona.
