CUP: Kyle Busch Nabs First Cup Last-Place Finish For #18 At Michigan Since 1976

SOURCE: FOX Sports 1, NASCAR.com

Kyle Busch picked up the 5th last-place finish of his NASCAR Sprint Cup Series career in Sunday’s Quicken Loans 400 at the Michigan International Speedway when his #18 M&M’s Crispy Toyota fell out after a single-car accident ended his run at 52 of the rain-shortened 138 laps.

The finish, which occurred in Busch’s 369th series start, was his first of the 2015 season.  It was also his first in a Cup race since September 21, 2008, when his #18 Interstate Batteries Toyota lost the engine after 172 laps of the Camping World RV 400 presented by AAA at Dover - 239 races ago.

That last-place run in 2008 derailed Busch’s impressive first season with Joe Gibbs Racing in the flagship #18, an eight-win season resulting in just a 10th-place finish in the standings.  In the six seasons that followed, Busch would win 17 more Cup races while dominating both the XFINITY and Truck Series as a part-time competitor.  It was during one of these bonus races in February where Busch suffered a broken right leg and left foot after crashing into an unprotected fence, the injuries taking him out of his car until just last month at Charlotte.

Saturday at Michigan, Busch returned to the XFINITY Series for the first time since Daytona and took the victory - his 71st in just 298 series starts.  This done, Busch looked to Sunday’s race and his continued effort to make the field for this year’s Chase.  Granted a medical exemption by NASCAR officials, Busch would still have to win a race and average a 17th-place finish to make the cut.  Unfortunately, an 11th-place run at Charlotte and 9th at Pocono was weighed down by a costly wreck at Dover that left him 36th, dropping his average to 18.67.  With just 12 chances left to win, Busch knew that a weekend sweep would be a game-changer.

Busch turned in the 18th-fastest lap in Friday’s opening practice and timed in 10th in qualifying as the second-fastest Toyota behind teammate Carl Edwards.  Busch then jumped to 4th-fastest in the second practice session and was 2nd to Jeff Gordon in Happy Hour.

On Sunday, Matt DiBenedetto started 43rd in BK Racing’s #83 Burger King Toyota, joined by teammate J.J. Yeley after his engine change in the #23 Dr. Pepper Toyota, but neither held the spot for long.  Heading into Turn 3, Alex Bowman’s 36th-place #7 Racing-Rewards.com Chevrolet slid up the track with an apparent cut right-rear tire.  Bowman immediately cut to pit road, the stop costing him two laps.  He got one lap back during the first of several rain-caused cautions on Lap 12, but just before the Lap 19 restart lost another right-rear tire, shredding away the crush panels and prolonging the yellow.  Bowman pulled behind the wall to allow the crew to make repairs while the other 42 competitors remained on the lead lap.

Then, on Lap 53, Busch found trouble.  Running 6th during a restart after another rain delay, Busch’s #18 was trying to pass brother Kurt Busch’s #41 HAAS Automation Chevrolet for 5th when Kyle lost control and slapped the outside wall with the right-front and right-rear of his machine.  Fortunately uninjured in the accident, Busch was able to drive his car to the garage area.  By that time, Busch had fallen to 42nd, a handful of laps ahead of the still-stopped Bowman.  The two were joined on Lap 64 by David Gilliland, whose #38 Love’s Travel Stops Ford smacked the outside wall but did not bring out the caution.

On Lap 73, Bowman returned to the track 51 laps down.  Busch’s team was still trying to make repairs, no one certain whether the persistent rains would end the race at Lap 101.  When the skies cleared, Bowman continued on track while Busch remained in the garage area, allowing Bowman to bump Busch to last on Lap 104 and Gilliland to 42nd on Lap 117.  When the heaviest rainfall yet ended the race at 138 laps, both Busch and Gilliland were still in the garage area and out of the race.  Bowman came home as the final car under power, 52 laps down.  Rounding out the Bottom Five were Mike Bliss in Archie St. Hillaire’s #32 Skuttle Tight / CorvetteParts.net Ford with DiBenedetto in 39th also four laps down.

With 11 races remaining, Busch’s average finish in 4 Cup starts this year is now 24.8.

*This is the first last-place finish for the #18 in a Cup race at Michigan since June 20, 1976 when Joe Frasson’s #18 Excuse Lounge Chevrolet lost the engine after 1 lap of the Cam 2 Motor Oil 400, won by David Pearson.  Frasson, a temperamental owner-driver from Golden Valley, Minnesota, made 107 Cup starts from 1969 through 1978.  His best career finishes were a pair of 3rd-place runs at Darlington in 1972 and at Texas World Speedway in 1973.  Frasson’s brightly-painted machines occasionally carried sponsorship which ranged from Pizza Hut to his family’s cement company.
*Busch previously finished last in a Cup race at Michigan just one other time  - on August 21, 2005, Busch’s #5 Kellogg’s Chevrolet started 4th and led 28 laps, but overheated after 81 circuits due to debris that became stuck to the front valence.  That same race, the GFS Marketplace 400, saw Jeremy Mayfield’s 5th and most recent Cup Series victory.

XFINITY: Qualifying Crash Ends C.J. Faison’s Day In Michigan

SOURCE: Rubbin's Racin' Forums

C.J. Faison picked up the 1st last-place finish of his NASCAR XFINITY Series career in Saturday’s Great Clips 250 at the Michigan International Speedway when his #26 JGL Graphics Toyota was unable to start the race.  The finish occurred in what was to be Faison’s 2nd series start.

UPDATE (May 29, 2021): The reason out has since been updated to "electrical" issues.

Just 21 years old, Faison already has 16 years of racing experience, having worked his way from the go-kart tracks of the northeast to the K&N Pro Series East and Dirt Late Model divisions.  In 2013, he made his Truck Series debut at Dover, finishing 30th for Ken Smith, then just two rounds later jumped to 19th at Kentucky in Bobby Dotter’s #81 SS Green Light Racing Toyota.  With a contract signed to run select Truck races for Premium Motorsports while developing his own race team, Faison set his sights on the XFINITY Series for which he tested in 2013.  In this series, Faison has found a home with JGL Racing.

JGL was formed last year by Gregg Mixon, a longtime XFINITY Series owner who was making his return to the series after a decade’s absence.  In the aftermath of Dodge’s exodus from NASCAR, Mixon bought old XFINITY cars from Penske Racing and ran two cars with a mix of veteran and rookie drivers.  The car number that would become Faison’s ride was to be a part-time third team for the restrictor-plate races in 2015 with Mike Wallace aboard while Eric McClure brought his Hefty and Reynolds Wrap sponsorship to fund one of JGL’s two full-time rides.  However, when McClure and his sponsors returned to TriStar Motorsports after Talladega, JGL went back to running two cars once more - the #28 of J.J. Yeley and the #26 to be driven by series newcomers like Faison.

Faison made his XFINITY Series debut at Dover on May 30, starting 37th and finishing 23rd, six laps down.  He was tabbed to return for Saturday’s next round at Michigan, where he turned in the 27th-fastest time in Friday’s only practice session.  In Saturday’s qualifying session, Faison had just turned in the 30th-fastest time on his second lap at an average speed of 187.110 mph when a bizarre accident ended his afternoon.  Coming off Turn 4, his car ruptured a water line that got moisture under his wheels.  The #26 switched ends and backed into the outside wall.  Faison was uninjured and attempted to help his crew fix the machine for that afternoon’s race.  Despite the team’s best efforts, Faison’s car was pulled behind the wall before the start, unable to compete in the race.

For the seventh time this season, TriStar Motorsports and Motorsports Business Management finished nose-to-tail in the Bottom Five, this time with current LASTCAR XFINITY Series leader Jeff Green in TriStar’s unsponsored #19 coming home 39th, 29 laps behind Carl Long in MBM’s #40 Braille Battery / Grafoid Dodge.  37th went to 1990 Daytona 500 winner Derrike Cope with Jackson Coffee Co. on his self-prepared #70 Chevrolet, equaling Cope’s worst finish of the year at Bristol.  36th place ended up with Blake Koch, one of Green’s teammates at TriStar, in the #8 Leaf Filter Gutter Protection Toyota.

LASTCAR STATISTICS
*Faison is the first XFINITY Series driver to finish last due to being unable to start the race since June 2, 2012, when Tony Raines’ #70 Black Cat Fireworks Chevrolet for owner Jay Robinson could not get going in the 5-Hour Energy 200.
*This is the first last-place finish for the #26 in an XFINITY Series race since October 15, 2010, when Parker Kligerman’s #26 Roger Penske-owned Dodge started 8th but crashed after 3 laps of the Dollar General 300 at Charlotte.  It is the number’s first XFINITY last-place run at Michigan.
*This is the first last-place finish for JGL Racing since last June, when Kevin Lepage lost the rear gear o his unsponsored #93 JGL Racing Dodge and did not complete a lap of the Gardner Denver 200 at Road America.

TRUCKS: Joey Gattina Saves Benning’s Truck In Series Debut

SOURCE: @arcafan06

Joey Gattina picked up the 1st last-place finish of his NASCAR Camping World Truck Series career in Saturday’s Drivin’ For Linemen 200 at Gateway Motorsports Park when his #57 Truckworx Kenworth Chevrolet fell out with engine problems that kept him from completing any of the race’s 160 laps.  The finish occurred in Gattina’s series debut.

Like Adam Edwards, who trailed the field last week at Texas, Gattina is a driving instructor, having worked at the Dale Jarrett Racing Adventure at the Talladega Superspeedway in his native Alabama.  Last year, Gattina made his second ARCA Racing Series start at the Talladega track, finishing 31st for longtime owner-driver Wayne Peterson in the #06 Robby Wells For President / Griffin Services Chevrolet.  Gattina finished a career-best 21st in his only other series start at Mobile earlier that year, again with Peterson.

Gattina’s ride for Saturday was a second bright red Chevrolet owned by owner-driver and current 2015 LASTCAR Truck Series leader Norm Benning.  Benning, who again ran his #6 Boedeker Construction Chevrolet on Saturday, entered his second #57 truck for the first time in 2015 as one of three post-entries.  These three trucks finally made a full field of 32 after the preliminary entry list contained just 26 trucks.  As at Texas, the other two post-entries were Mike Affarano’s #03 Affarano Motorsports Chevrolet and Texas last-placer Adam Edwards in Jennifer Jo Cobb’s #0 Driven2Honor.org Chevrolet.  Gattina’s truck was the final addition, added on the day of the race.

Gattina was the slowest driver in Saturday’s only practice session, running a single lap of 94.897 mph.  He secured the 32nd and final starting spot when qualifying was washed out, forcing the field to be set by those practice speeds.

In the first 13 laps of Saturday’s race, all three post-entries were the first to pull behind the wall.  After Gattina did not complete the opening lap, Edwards and Affarano both retired in 6 and 7-lap intervals.  The next truck to fall out was the #36 Mittler Bros. Machine & Tool Chevrolet of Justin Jennings, his fourth-straight Bottom Five.  Rounding out the group was Mason Mingus, who brought out the first caution of the night after his unsponsored #15 Billy Boat Motorsports Chevrolet tangled with Justin Bottom’s #54 ROK Mobile Toyota on Lap 53.

LASTCAR STATISTICS
*This is he first last-place finish for the #57 in a Truck Series race since last September, when Ted Minor also failed to complete the opening lap in Benning’s second truck due to clutch issues in the UNOH 175 at the New Hampshire Motor Speedway.  The finish was also the first of Minor’s career.  The number had never before finished last in a Truck race at Gateway.

CUP: Almirola Keeps Stenhouse From First Last-Place Finish At Pocono

SOURCE: Getty Images, NASCAR

Aric Almirola picked up the 5th last-place finish of his NASCAR Sprint Cup Series career in Sunday’s Axalta “We Paint Winners” 400 at the Pocono Raceway when his #43 Nathan’s Famous Hot Dogs Ford lost the engine after he completed 88 of the race’s 160 laps.

The finish was Almirola’s first of the 2015 season and his first in a Cup Series race since last year at Fontana, 45 races ago.

Coming into the Pocono race, Almirola had just finished a season-best 5th at Dover, putting him 10th in the series standings.  This also put him 5th among drivers without a win in 2015, trailing only Martin Truex, Jr., Jamie McMurray, Kasey Kahne, and Jeff Gordon.  Quietly, Almirola had put together his most consistent start to date - he hadn’t finished any worse than a 26th-place run at Las Vegas and had completed all but five laps.  Unfortunately, while Truex’s winless streak came to an end Sunday, Almirola’s streak ended as well.

For the second-straight year, the Pocono event would be the first of two NASCAR events to hold qualifying events for next month’s Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest, the other being the Sonoma Raceway in three weeks.  To mark the occasion, Almirola’s #43 would carry primary sponsorship from associate supporter Nathan’s on a blue-and-gold paint scheme.  The car was 26th-fastest in the opening practice and qualified 25th in Happy Hour, putting up a speed of 174.791 mph.  On Saturday, he improved further to 24th in the second session before he dipped to 28th in Happy Hour.

Just 43 cars showed up to attempt the race, so the 43rd starting spot went to Brendan Gaughan in his unsponsored black #62 Chevrolet for Premium Motorsports.  On Sunday, Gaughan, who has now made 2 straight races after 6 DNQs in 2015, was briefly joined by Joey Logano, sent to the rear after a rear gear change before the race.  Logano quickly moved through the field while Gaughan held 43rd for the first 21 laps and was the first to be lapped on Lap 18.  Green flag stops shuffled the entire field, putting Josh Wise in 43rd on Lap 22, then Jeb Burton on Lap 23 with Burton’s #26 Maxim Fantasy sports / Estes Express Lines Toyota becoming the first to lose two laps on Lap 26.  Travis Kvapil’s first start of the year in the #32 ReallyCheapFloors.com / VictoryPress.biz Ford briefly dipped to 43rd on Lap 28, a spot he held until Lap 30 when Paul Menard lost the left-front tire on his #27 Schrock / Menards Chevrolet in Turn 2.

On Lap 36, 43rd spot changed hands again, this time going to Burton’s BK Racing teammate J.J. Yeley in the #23 Dr. Pepper / Heinz Toyota.  Yeley had picked up a bag on his grille, causing his machine to overheat and make a unscheduled stop for the crew to raise the hood.  He was just underway again, 4 laps down, when the second caution of the afternoon flew on Lap 70.  Ricky Stenhouse, Jr., running 17th in his #17 Zest Ford, lost the brakes racing into Turn 2 and slapped the outside wall hard.  Uninjured, but too frustrated to talk with reporters, Stenhouse dropped through the field only to be denied 43rd by last-place starter Gaughan, whose lapped machine had gone behind the wall just before the incident.  At the time, Gaughan was one lap behind Stenhouse.

Almirola didn’t play a role in the LASTCAR battle until Lap 80, when his car suddenly sounded flat coming down the front straightaway.  He struggled to keep up the pace, the gauges on his #43 reading normal but the car struggling to take any fuel.  Soon, the car began to trail smoke.  On Lap 88, a debris caution allowed Almirola to make it to pit road for the crew to have a look, but when he pulled off pit road, the car was pouring smoke worse than before.  He then pulled behind the wall the next time by, dropping him into the Bottom Five.

On Lap 90, Gaughan returned to the track, and one lap later Stenhouse slipped to 43rd.  If he stayed there, it would mark not only Stenhouse’s first last-place finish in 90 Cup starts, but also the first back-to-back lasts by Roush-Fenway Racing since Matt Kenseth lost the engine in 2003’s finale at Homestead and Mark Martin’s let go in the 2004 Daytona 500.  Almirola, meanwhile, slipped behind Yeley’s lapped machine to the 42nd spot on Lap 110.

Finally, on Lap 123, Stenhouse brought his battered car back onto the track just in time for the restart following Sam Hornish, Jr.’s hard crash in Turn 1.  The wreck put both Richard Petty Motorsports cars in the Bottom Five while Stenhouse’s return meant Almirola would fall to last if the #17 finished under power.  Stenhouse did, in fact, make it the rest of the way, and Almirola fell to 43rd with 16 laps to go on Lap 144.

Stenhouse remained 42nd, Hornish in 41st, and Gaughan in 40th was finally felled by electrical issues.  Rounding out the Bottom Five was Ryan Newman, whose #31 Grainger Chevrolet wrecked while racing A.J. Allmendinger for the 7th spot with just 18 circuits remaining.

Almirola still sits 12th in the series standings heading to Michigan next week.

TRUCKS: Racing Instructor Adam Edwards Trails First Truck Series Field

SOURCE: Rubbin's Racin' Forums

Adam Edwards picked up the 1st last-place finish of his NASCAR Camping World Truck Series career in Friday’s WinStar World Casino & Resort 400 at the Texas Motor Speedway when his #0 Driven2Honor.org Chevrolet fell out with rear gear issues after he completed 5 of the race’s 167 laps.  The finish occurred in Edwards’ 7th series start.

Edwards, a graduate of Virginia Tech and an instructor at Andy Hillenburg’s Fast Track High Performance Driving School, got his start as an owner-drier in 2002 running in the pure stock division of the NASCAR Weekly Series.  In 2007, he broke into the national ranks by making 5 ARCA Racing Series starts that year with a best finish of 17th at Pocono for Andy Belmont in August. Earlier that year, Edwards ran the June Pocono event for owner-driver Norm Benning, parking Benning’s unsponsored #8 Chevrolet after one lap of the race.

Benning and Edwards reunited at the Pocono track in 2012 where he again parked one of Benning’s backup vehicles - this time his #75 Chevrolet in the Camping World Truck Series - ending his series debut after 5 laps.  Last year, Edwards ran Benning’s second truck in five more races, improving to a 28th-place finish in the 29-truck field at Michigan, but never completing more than 12 laps in any one event.  The truck changed numbers twice more from #71 to Benning’s old #57 as Benning himself switched to the #6 at Eldora.

Friday’s race at Texas was to be Edwards’ first start of the season and his first for Jennifer Jo Cobb.  Days earlier, it was announced that Edwards would replace defending LASTCAR Truck Series Champion Caleb Roark in Jo Cobb’s own second truck, the #0 Chevrolet.  Just 27 trucks were on that preliminary entry list, but by Friday another three late entries brought the grid to just two short of a full field: the #74 Mike Harmon Racing entry of Jordan Anderson, the #03 of dirt tracker Mike Affarano, and the #45 Tilted Kilt Chevrolet of B.J. McLeod.  Affarano and McLeod would join Edwards in the Bottom Five.  Anderson came home 24th.

Edwards was 22nd-fastest in Thursday’s opening practice session and joined McLeod as the only two drivers to not participate in Happy Hour.  He timed in 28th at an average speed of 159.546 mph, though was listed as in by Owner Points despite the short field.  Teammate and team owner Jennifer Jo Cobb, who made her 100th Truck Series start on Friday, started 20th and would come home 19th.

During the opening green-flag run, all five members of the Bottom Five pulled behind the wall and fell out of the race.  Edwards beat Affarano by a single lap, followed two circuits later by Donnie Neuenberger in MAKE Motorsports’ #50 Burnie Grill Chevrolet.  McLeod came home 27th followed two circuits later by Justin Jennings in another team truck, the #36 Mittler Bros. Machine & Tool Chevrolet.  Mittler’s #36 has finished in the Bottom Five in 3 of its 4 starts so far this season.

LASTCAR STATISTICS
*This is the third last-place finish in the last four Texas races for Jo Cobb’s #0 team and the second in a row during the spring race.  Last year, Ryan Ellis also scored his first last-place finish in the series after a vibration stopped him 2 laps into the event.
