CUP: Alex Bowman Last As Las Vegas’ Only Retiree

SOURCE: NASCAR Media

Alex Bowman picked up the 2nd last-place finish of his NASCAR Sprint Cup Series career in Sunday’s Kobalt Tools 400 at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway when his #7 NIKKO / Toy State Chevrolet fell out with engine trouble after he completed 28 of the race’s 267 laps.

The finish came in Bowman’s 38th series start.  It’s his first last-place finish since last fall at Talladega, 7 races ago.

Last year, Bowman participated in all 36 races of his rookie Cup Series season driving the #23 Toyota for BK Racing.  He came home 35th in points that year, earning a career-best 13th at Daytona last July.  When the series returned to Daytona this year, Bowman had just signed to drive the #7 for Tommy Baldwin Racing.  Baldwin’s team had scaled back its organization from two cars to just one, having sold the #36 team to Premium Motorsports, owners of Mike Wallace’s #66, where Baldwin’s entry now runs as Premium’s second car, #62, driven by Brendan Gaughan.

Bowman arrived at Daytona looking to make his second-consecutive start in the Daytona 500.  Last year, he raced his way in during his Budweiser Duel, finishing 14th in Race 1, then driving to a 23rd-place finish in the 500.  This year, Bowman was one of the many surprises in practice, leading 32 drivers in the fourth session on Wednesday afternoon.  In Thursday’s Duel Race 2, he started 12th in a field of 24 and was running right where he needed to transfer when he was taken out in a four-car wreck in the trioval.  Though uninjured, Bowman missed the 500 field, marking the first time Baldwin’s team missed has the race after six straight starts.

Bowman rebounded at Atlanta, clawing his way from 42nd to finish 23rd, and looked for another good run at Las Vegas.  At the desert track, Bowman was 28th-fastest in the opening practice, timed in 27th in qualifying with a lap of 189.947 mph, then ranked 37th and 29th in Saturday’s final two practice sessions.

Among the five drivers who missed the race this week was defending LASTCAR champ Mike Bliss, who ended up with the first DNQ for Frankie Stoddard and Archie St. Hillaire’s #32 Ford since the spring race at Bristol in March 2011, and Travis Kvapil, driving the same #44 Phoenix Warehouses Chevrolet that was stolen last week in Atlanta.

For the third-straight race, Premium Motorsports got just one of its cars into the race.  This time, it was Gaughan’s #62 South Point Hotel & Casino Chevrolet, which secured the 43rd and final starting spot.  After polesitter Jeff Gordon and 13th-place starter David Ragan’s backup cars started to climb through the pack, Gaughan retained the spot after one lap.  J.J. Yeley, driving Bowman’s old ride in the #23 Dr. Pepper Toyota, took it on Lap 2.  Gaughan snagged 43rd again by Lap 8, then was the first car to lose a lap on Lap 16.  A half-dozen cars had lost a lap by the first competition caution on Lap 25, but no one had yet fallen out of the race.

Then, under the ensuing caution, smoke billowed from the right-side pipes on Bowman’s #7 Chevrolet.  NASCAR’s leaderboard indicated that Bowman had stayed out to lead a lap under the yellow and earned a bonus point.  However, when the final results were posted, Joey Logano was credited with that lap.  In either case, Bowman pulled off the track on Lap 28, his race done.

When the checkered flag fell, two big names joined Bowman in the Bottom Five.  42nd-place Carl Edwards led 2 laps and was looking for his first victory in Joe Gibbs’ #19 Comcast Business Toyota.  On Lap 195, he was in a tight race with Kasey Kahne for a spot inside the Top 10 when Edwards broke loose, slamming Kahne into the fence.  Kahne retaliated with a bump in the tri-oval, and Edwards broke loose in Turn 1, collecting the inside wall.  The wreck only dropped Edwards to 41st, however, as six-time series champion Jimmie Johnson had twice cut down a right-front tire, sending him behind the wall for more than 30 laps of repairs.  Johnson averted his fifth 42nd-place finish when he returned to the track before Edwards, causing the two drivers to switch positions by race’s end.

Finishing 40th on Sunday was Jeb Burton, whose lapped #26 MaximFantasySports.com Toyota was rammed by Jeff Gordon in Turn 1 as the two drivers checked-up during Johnson’s first accident.  Gordon apologized to Burton on pit road after the race.  Rounding out the Bottom Five was Michael Annett, whose #46 Cypress Chevrolet clobbered the outside wall in Turn 4 during the middle stages of the race.

LASTCAR STATISTICS
*This is the first last-place finish for the #7 since April 21, 2013, when Dave Blaney’s #7 SANY Chevrolet, also fielded by Tommy Baldwin, crashed after 36 laps of the STP 400.  The Baldwin team’s most recent last-place finish took place last November at Phoenix, when Mike Bliss secured his LASTCAR title in the #37 Accell Construction Chevrolet.
*For the second-straight year, the last-place finisher of the Cup Series race was the event’s only retiree.  Last year, Michael McDowell earned his only last-place finish of 2014 when his own engine let go after 141 laps.
*This marks the first season since 1999 where the first three last-place finishers of the season all fell out due to engine trouble.  That year began with runs by John Andretti (Daytona 500), Kyle Petty (Rockingham), and Ricky Rudd (Las Vegas).  Petty lost another engine the following week at Atlanta before Ken Schrader’s finish under power at Darlington ended the streak at four.

XFINITY: Jeff Green Edges Teammate Bliss For First Last-Place Run of 2015

SOURCE: FOX Sports 1

Jeff Green picked up the 61st last-place finish of his NASCAR XFINITY Series career in Saturday’s Boyd's Gaming 300 at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway when his #10 Holiday Inn Club Vacations Toyota fell out with a vibration after he completed 3 of the race’s 200 laps.

The finish came in Green’s 393rd series start.  It his first since last fall’s season finale at Homestead, 3 races ago.  In all Green, now has 66 last-place finishes across NASCAR’s top three divisions, 27 more than the next-highest mark set 39-time finisher Joe Nemechek.

Green returned to the XFINITY Series in 2015 for his sixth season driving for Mark Smith’s TriStar Motorsports.  At the Daytona opener, Green timed in a solid 22nd, having not turned a lap in Round 2 of qualifying after is flat white Toyota made the cut.  However, when TriStar teammate Scott Lagasse, Jr. failed to make the show in the #19, Green stepped out of the car so Lagasse could drive.  The team managed to re-skin the car just in time for the race, where a crash left him 37th.

Las Vegas would be Green’s first appearance since then, TriStar having not entered his “start-and-park” #10 last week at Atlanta.  His car, as well as that of teammate and 2014 LASTCAR Cup champ Mike Bliss, carried sponsorship from Holiday Inn, which was likely because of an arrangement between the team and the hotel where they stayed for the weekend.

Green didn’t participate in the weekend’s opening practice and ran just 36th-best in Happy Hour, but while 42 cars gunned for 40 starting spots, Green was locked-into the field on Owner Points.  He secured the 34th spot in qualifying, the highest-ranked of those taking provisionals, at a speed of 171.964 mph.  Daytona last-placer Dexter Bean ran two-tenths faster than Green in time trials, but his #92 King Autosport Chevrolet was sent home with the Victor Obaika-owned #97 entry driven by Josh Reaume.

Cody Ware started last in his father Rick’s #15 Lily Trucking of Virginia Chevrolet, but just 3 laps into the race, Green pulled behind the wall and out of the event.  Just 9 laps later, Mike Bliss brought out the first caution when he lost control of his #19 in Turn 1, made contact with the #51 RepairableVehicles.com / Casedhole Solutions Chevrolet of Jeremy Clements, then turned head-on into the outside wall.  Bliss was uninjured, but after just 12 laps, TriStar had two of its cars out of the race.

Outside-polesitter Brian Scott became the race’s next retiree when his #2 Albertson’s / Sanderson Farms Chevrolet lost the engine after 14 laps.  It was Scott’s second DNF in three races this season, and his worst finish in the series since a career-worst 41st at Phoenix in the fall of 2011.  Morgan Shepherd, who trailed last week’s race at Atlanta, fell out one lap after Scott, citing suspension issues on his #89 Racing With Jesus / Courtney Construction Chevrolet.  Rounding out the Bottom Five was the Dodge of Carl Long, his 40 Braille Battery / Grafoid machine out with electrical issues.

TriStar’s top finishing car on Saturday belonged to David Starr, whose #44 Zachry Toyota finished two laps down in 17th.  One spot in front of Starr was J.J. Yeley, who earned his second-consecutive top-twenty finish in Gregg Mixon’s Texas 28 Spirits Stage Toyota.  Mixon’s JGL Racing has quietly had a solid start to 2015 ever since Daytona, when two of its cars finished 13th and 17th with Mike Wallace and Eric McClure, respectively.

*This is Green’s second-consecutive last-place finish in the XFINITY Series race at Las Vegas.  Last year, his #10 also exited after 3 laps with a vibration.

CUP: Landon Cassill First Driver To Sweep Opening Two Last-Place Finishes Since 1949

SOURCE: NASCAR

Landon Cassill picked up the 7th last-place finish of his NASCAR Sprint Cup Series career in Sunday’s Folds of Honor QuikTrip 500 at the Atlanta Motor Speedway when his #40 Snap Fitness Chevrolet fell out with engine failure after he completed 92 of the race’s 325 laps.  The finish came in Cassill’s 153rd series start.

It is Cassill’s second-consecutive Cup Series last-place finish.

Following their Lap 19 exit from the Daytona 500, Cassill and the Hillman Racing team faced another peculiar on-track challenge.  Having timed in 29th and 30th in Thursday’s two test sessions, then 23rd in Friday’s opening practice session, Cassill looked to turn in a fast lap in qualifying, where he’d line up 39th that afternoon.  Unfortunately, this random draw left his Chevrolet one of the 13 cars trapped in the inspection cue at the start of qualifying, preventing him from taking a lap before time ran out.

As NASCAR attempted to figure out how to set the grid for the back of the field, PRN Radio reported Cassill had secured the 43rd spot - then minutes later said Cassill had lost the spot to the #66 Premium Motorsports entry of Mike Wallace based on his number of race attempts.  It wasn’t until later that day that the grid was corrected a final time with Cassill confirmed as the final starter of the race.

Wallace was sent home with four other frustrated drivers who never had a chance to qualify.  None were more frustrated than Travis Kvapil, whose first start for Team XTREME Racing was scratched when the team’s #44 Phoenix Warehouses Chevrolet was stolen Thursday, forcing them to withdraw.  On Saturday, the still-intact car was recovered by local police in the woods outside Loganville, Georgia, followed by the truck a few hours later.  Reports indicate that Team XTREME will return to attempt next week’s race in Las Vegas.

Following a 33rd-place run in Happy Hour and a 17th-place finish in the XFINITY Series race on Saturday, Cassill rolled off at the tail end of the field on Sunday.  Just a few spots ahead of him were past series champions Jimmie Johnson, Jeff Gordon, and Matt Kenseth, who were also unable to get out of inspection in time to take a lap.  Outside-polesitter Kevin Harvick joined Cassill as well, having lost his engine after turning the fastest lap in Happy Hour.  Sent to the back with Harvick was Michael Annett, who took over Brian Scott’s unsponsored #33 Joe Falk-owned entry after the botched qualifying session dropped Annett’s #46 from the field following a 13th-place run in the Daytona 500.

By the first lap of the race, however, all these drivers conceded last place to four-time Truck Series Champion Ron Hornaday, Jr.  The 57-year-old Hornaday, who hadn’t made a Cup Series start since the 2003 finale at Homestead where he drove an R&D car for Richard Childress, signed this year with The Motorsports Group, Curtis Key’s venerable XFINITY Series team.  Following a DNQ in the Daytona 500, the qualifying chaos locked Hornaday into the 34th starting spot.  Hornaday fell to the rear at the start, however, moved past the #23 Dr. Pepper Toyota of J.J. Yeley on Lap 4, then fell behind again on Lap 14.

When the competition caution fell on Lap 26, Hornaday and Yeley were both a lap down to the leaders along with the #98 Phil Parsons Racing Ford of Josh Wise, who had also bounced back from a 500 DNQ along with Yeley’s rookie teammate Jeb Burton.  Wise took the 43rd spot under the caution after a penalty for his crewman jumping over the pit wall too soon, then Hornaday moved behind him once more by Lap 34.

On Lap 49, Austin Dillon stayed out too long with fender damage after contact with Regan Smith and cut down his left-rear tire, dropping debris all over the backstretch.  For some reason, NASCAR credited the debris and not Dillon with the caution, so Dillon received the Lucky Dog for bringing out the yellow.  This mistake was rectified less than 10 laps later when Dillon cut down another tire in Turn 3, sending him spinning into the grass.  With the back of his car both damaged and covered in mud, Dillon pulled behind the wall and took 43rd away from Hornaday during several laps of repairs.

If he remained in 43rd, Dillon, who did not DNF a single time during his rookie season in 2014, would have earned the first Cup Series last-place finish for the #3 since September 28, 1992, when the late Dale Earnhardt lost the engine on his GM Goodwrench Chevrolet after 111 laps of the Goody’s 500 at Martinsville.  It was the fifth and final last-place finish of Earnhardt’s career, and with smaller fields being common at the time, he never finished 43rd.  As it turned out, Sunday’s finish would go to someone else.

On Lap 95, Cassill was running 31st, trying to stay on the lead lap during what was becoming a very fast race.  Cassill’s Chevrolet sustained damage to the nose in Dillon’s first caution, a piece of debris punching a fist-sized hole near his left-side headlight decal.  While repairs had been successful, the engine tightened up, then let go off of Turn 2, dropping oil on the backstretch.  For the second week in a row, an engine failure had knocked the #40 out of the race after less than one-third distance.

Dillon returned to the track on the ensuing Lap 98 restart, then finally passed Cassill for 42nd on Lap 134.  Dillon climbed to 39th in the final running order, first moving past Hornaday, whose lapped #30 broke a rear gear after 187 laps.  The other two spots went to Jeff Gordon and Jamie McMurray, who tangled during the day’s first multi-car pileup triggered by a spinning Denny Hamlin on Lap 258.  Hamlin finished 38th, just two laps ahead of Dillon and outside the Bottom Five.

Turning heads during Sunday’s race was Brett Moffitt. Coming into his Sprint Cup debut last summer at Dover, the 9-time race winner in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East had made just 3 starts in the XFINITY and Truck Series. Driving the #66 for Identity Ventures Racing (now Premium Motorsports), Moffitt started 18th and finished 22nd, a career-best prior to Sunday. In the six races that followed, Moffitt had not finished better than 34th, failed to qualify at Indianapolis, and endured a miserable night in the Homestead finale where he brought out 2 of the race’s first 3 cautions. Sunday was Moffitt’s first start since Homestead, a one-off driving in relief of Brian Vickers, who returns next Sunday at Las Vegas. In his first start driving the #55 Aaron’s Dream Machine, Moffitt stayed on the lead lap most of the afternoon, led a lap late in the event, and rallied in the closing laps to finish 8th. It’s the best finish by the #55 team since Vickers’ runner-up finish last July at Daytona.

LASTCAR STATISTICS
*Cassill is just the second driver in Cup Series history to finish last in the first two races of the season.  The only other time it happened was in NASCAR’s inaugural season in 1949, when Glenn Dunaway followed up his disqualification at Charlotte with a DNF at the Daytona Beach-Roadcourse.  Dunaway claimed the inaugural LASTCAR title as the eight-race season’s only repeat finisher.
*This is the first-ever last-place finish for Cassill and the #40 in a Cup Series race at Atlanta.

XFINITY: Morgan Shepherd 3rd On All-Time LASTCAR List

SOURCE: Rubbin's Racin' Forums

Morgan Shepherd picked up the 15th last-place finish of his NASCAR XFINITY Series career in Saturday’s Hisense 250 at the Atlanta Motor Speedway when his #89 Racing With Jesus / Courtney Construction Chevrolet fell out with suspension issues after he completed 2 of the race’s 163 laps.  The finish came in Shepherd’s 360th series start.

This was Shepherd’s first XFINITY last-place finish since Daytona on July 5, 2013, 52 races ago.

Atlanta, the scene of three of Shepherd’s four Cup Series victories, saw the 73-year-old driver attempt both the XFINITY and Truck Series races held last Saturday.  The Truck ride came as a last-minute replacement for Timmy Hill, who chose not to race MAKE Motorsports’ #1 Life on the Line / Lily Trucking Chevrolet after Saturday’s practice.

Last season, Shepherd finished 35th at Atlanta, matching his best finish of his eight-race campaign.  Saturday, as for much of last season, Shepherd carried associate sponsorship from Courtney Construction.  Following the team’s withdrawal from the Daytona event, driver and team went to Atlanta locked-into the show as his silver-and-black Chevrolet made it 40 entrants for 40 available positions.

Shepherd did not participate in the opening practice session, ran just four laps in Happy Hour, then timed in 40th in qualifying with an average speed of 158.061 mph, the slowest car by more than 2 seconds.  By Lap 3 of the race itself, Shepherd pulled behind the wall with suspension issues.  In that afternoon’s Truck Series race, he started 30th and finished 27th.

Finishing 39th on Saturday was Carl Long, whose Derek White-owned #40 carried a special tribute to Thee Dixon, who passed away last Wednesday.  It was Dixon, then the owner of single-car team Mansion Motorsports, who gave Long his first Cup Series ride in the blue-and-gold #85 Ford.  Finishing 38th was Josh Reaume, who at Daytona came home a career-best 23rd in Victor Obaika’s #97 Chevrolet.  37th went to one of only two Dodges in the field - the #74 of perennial underdog Mike Harmon.  Rounding out the Bottom Five was by 1990 Daytona 500 winner and three-time LASTCAR Cup Champion Derrike Cope in his #70 Wade Tractor Equipment / New Holland Agriculture Chevrolet, who finished under power.

LASTCAR STATISTICS
*At 73 years, 4 months, and 17 days, Shepherd remains the second-oldest last-place finisher in NASCAR history, trailing James Harvey Hylton at age 76 years, 8 months, and 10 days during the XFINITY Series race at Darlington on May 6, 2011.  Shepherd does hold the age record for Cup Series last-place finishers, which he accomplished in his run at Phoenix last year at 72 years, 4 months, 18 days.
*Shepherd now holds sole possession of 3rd in the all-time LASTCAR rankings with 37 career last-place finishes across all three of NASCAR’s top divisions.  He is 2 finishes behind runner-up Joe Nemechek and 28 finishes behind all-time leader Jeff Green.  Green was not entered in Saturday’s race.
*This marks the first last-place finish for the #89 in a XFINITY Series race at Atlanta.

TRUCKS: Norm Benning Trails Truck Field For First Time In Nearly Four Years

SOURCE: NASCAR Media

Norm Benning picked up the 6th last-place finish of his NASCAR Camping World Truck Series career in Saturday’s Hyundai Construction Equipment 200 at the Atlanta Motor Speedway when his unsponsored #6 Norm Benning Racing Chevrolet fell out with rear gear issues after he completed 12 of the race’s 130 laps.  The finish came in Bennings’ 139th series start.

This was Benning’s first Truck Series last-place finish since April 29, 2011 at Texas, 85 races ago.

Last summer, the 63-year-old Benning made a change to his grassroots team, changing his truck number from 57 - allegedly a reference to his home state of Pennsylvania as the birthplace of Heinz Ketchup - to 6.  The new number made its debut at the second-annual Eldora dirt track race, a show he starred in during the inaugural with his gutsy performance in the Last Chance Qualifier.  That night, Benning again raced his way into the field and finished 22nd.  He finished a season-best 17th at Charlotte earlier that year, just five spots shy of tying his career-best 12th at Talladega in 2013.

At Atlanta, just 31 trucks showed up to make the 32-truck field, guaranteeing all of the entrants a starting spot in the race.  The original list had 33 entrants, but the list was pared down after the withdrawals of both Win-Tron Racing’s #35, which finished last in the Daytona opener, and the #82 involved in the same wreck.  Curiously, the #82 was to be driven by Travis Kvapil, who was also forced to withdraw from the Cup race due to the theft of his ride - Team XTREME Racing’s #44.

Benning was the slowest driver in the only Atlanta practice, and he secured the final starting spot with an average speed of 151.928 mph, the slowest lap by nearly three full seconds.  In the race itself, he completed the opening 6 laps, but pulled behind the wall under green with mechanical issues.  He returned to run another 6 laps later in the event, but then retired with a broken rear gear.

The next retiree was Cody Ware, who was making his series debut in th #50 Burnie Grill / Bubba Burger Chevrolet fielded by MAKE Motorsports.  Ware brought out the race’s final caution on Lap 51 when he lost control in the first corner and slammed the outside wall nearly head-on.  Another newcomer, Brandon Brown, saw his 4th career start end after 91 laps when the oil line broke on his #86 BrandonBiltFoundations Chevrolet.  Rounding out the Bottom Five were Mason Mingus, whose #15 Billy Boat Performance Exhaust Chevrolet spun by himself on Lap 19 and eventually retired with crash damage, and Morgan Shepherd, the last-minute replacement for Timmy Hill in MAKE’s #1.  It was Shepherd’s first start in the series since November 1, 2013, when he finished next-to-last at Texas in Benning’s backup truck.

LASTCAR STATISTICS
*This marks the first last-place finish for the #6 in a Truck Series race since October 28, 2006, when Mark Martin’s Scotts Miracle-Gro Ford crashed after 2 laps of the Easy Care Vehicle Service Contracts 200, which was run at the same Atlanta track.  It was Martin’s only DNF in a season where he won 6 of the 14 races he ran, and was his only finish worse than 13th.
