CUP: Tony Stewart’s First Watkins Glen Start In Three Years Ends With Mechanical Issues

Tony Stewart picked up the 7th last-place finish of his NASCAR Sprint Cup Series career in Sunday’s Cheez-It 355 at the Glen at Watkins Glen International when his #14 Bass Pro Shops / Mobil 1 Chevrolet fell out with a busted rear gear after he completed 58 of the race’s 90 laps.

The finish was Stewart’s first of the 2015 season and his first in a Cup race since last November’s season finale at Homestead, 23 races ago.  The finish occurred in Stewart’s 576th series start.

Sunday’s race at Watkins Glen was Stewart’s first start in the event since 2012, the absences the result of a pair of tragic dirt-track accidents that brought both a physical and emotional toll on the veteran racer.  2015 had not been a kind season to the three-time series champion with no wins and only two top-ten finishes: a 6th at Bristol and a 9th last week at Pocono.  Three times in the first nine races, including the season-opening Daytona 500, Stewart had fallen out due to crashes, and he came to the road course mired in 25th in points.

However, on Saturday, Watkins Glen saw Stewart earn his third-straight top-five start in qualifying with a season-best 3rd at an average speed of 127.481 mph.  The car had improved steadily from practice, where it was 14th and 10th in Friday’s two sessions.  Following a strong showing at Sonoma in June, where Stewart contended for the win before a pit stop left him 12th, hopes were high that Stewart could get a much-needed boost at the track where he’d won five times previous.

The 43rd starting spot belonged to Timmy Hill, back in what appeared to be the same white #98 Chevrolet that Josh Wise ran at Sonoma, though this time with blue numbers and without the Dogecoin and Reddit logos.  Hill was the only Premium Motorsports entry in Sunday’s field as T.J. Bell’s qualifying crash in the XFINITY Series was followed with a DNQ for the #62 Tuctite Hosters Chevrolet that kept Bell from his first Cup start since Dover in September 2012.  Hill only held the spot briefly as Chris Buescher, making his first Cup race since Talladega in May, struggled with transmission issues on his #34 Bully Hill Vineyards Ford.  Buescher was more than 90 seconds behind the leader after the first circuit and was the first to go down a lap on Lap 3.

Buescher held the 43rd spot for most of the race’s first half as the race for 42nd intensified.  J.J. Yeley’s #23 Dr. Pepper Toyota lost touch with the field on Lap 5, then was passed for the spot on Lap 10 by Aric Almirola, whose #43 Smithfield Ford had to make an unscheduled stop following a spin and contact with Paul Menard in Turn 1.  On Lap 28, four circuits after Buescher lost his second lap, Jeff Gordon’s ailing #24 Axalta Chevrolet made an unscheduled stop to replace a faulty brake line.  The next time by, Gordon took 43rd from Buescher, and for the second time in three races seemed set to score his first last-place finish in Cup since 2008 and his first on a road course.

On Lap 31, Gordon returned to the track 4 laps back and still in the 43rd spot.  Buescher began to climb through the standings on Lap 47 when Austin Dillon’s #3 Dow Chevrolet cut down a left-rear tire on the backstretch following an earlier Turn 1 spin with Kyle Larson, the resulting stop dropping Dillon off the lead lap and down to 42nd.  When Dillon rejoined Gordon on track with all 43 competitors still running no more than 4 laps in arrears, the last-place battle was still anyone’s to claim when the race went green on Lap 50.

At that moment, Sam Hornish, Jr., running wit the leaders in his #9 Medallion Bank Ford, missed a shift and piled up the inside line, causing a chain reaction that damaged several cars.  Most badly damaged was the #5 Time Warner Cable Chevrolet of last week’s last-place finisher Kasey Kahne, whose machine rear-ended another car before he was rear-ended by the #32 Genesee Brewing Company Ford of Boris Said.  Kahne went to the garage while both Said and Jamie McMurray received large patches of tape to the noses of their cars.  By Lap 54, Kahne had taken 43rd from his teammate Gordon and looked poised to become the first driver to score his first two Cup last-place finishes in consecutive races since September 2003, when Christian Fittipaldi went back-to-back at Darlington and Richmond driving the #43 Cheerios Dodge for Richard Petty.

Heading down the backstretch on Lap 58, Stewart was running around the 15th spot when his #14 slowed suddenly, then pulled off into the infield grass just before the Inner Loop.  The fifth and, ultimately, final caution came out to move his car back to the garage area.  Stewart’s radio communications indicated both rear axles were broken, but he was soon listed out of the race with a broken rear gear.  Under the caution on Lap 60, Kahne returned to the track 10 laps in arrears.  The #14 did not return to the race and, along with Yeley last month at Loudon, became the only retiree of a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race.  Kahne finally bumped Stewart to last on Lap 68.

Kahne came home 42nd with Gordon 41st and McMurray’s damaged #1 McDonald’s Chevrolet four laps back in 40th.  Rounding out the Bottom Five was rookie Jeb Burton, whose #26 Maxim Toyota suffered right-front damage in an earlier incident and ended up two laps back, just behind Hill, Buescher, and Dillon.

LASTCAR STATISTICS
*This marks Stewart’s first-ever last-place finish in a NASCAR road course race and the first for the #14 since June 24, 2007, when the engine of Sterling Marlin’s Wiley-X Chevrolet let go after 12 laps of the Toyota / Save Mart 350.  The #14 had never finished last in a Cup race at Watkins Glen.
*Stewart’s 3rd-place starting spot makes him the highest-qualified last-place finisher at Watkins Glen since August 12, 2001, when Rusty Wallace started 5th in the Global Crossing at The Glen before his #2 Miller Lite Ford lost the engine after 14 laps.

XFINITY: Jeff Green Becomes First NASCAR Driver With Five Straight Last-Place Finishes

SOURCE: Rob Fini, @roadrunnerdrumr

Jeff Green picked up the 72nd last-place finish of his NASCAR XFINITY Series career in Saturday’s Zippo 200 at the Glen at Watkins Glen International when his unsponsored #19 TriStar Motorsports Toyota fell out with a vibration after he completed 3 of the race’s 82 laps.

With the finish, Green’s 12th of the season and 8th in the last 10 XFINITY races, Green has become the first driver in NASCAR history to finish last in 5 consecutive races in the same series.  Green breaks his own record of 4 in a row set in August 2011 and matched last week at Iowa.  The finish occurred in Green’s 407th series start.

On Saturday, the 40th starting spot belonged to John Wes Townley, whose crew had to make changes to his #25 Zaxby’s Chevrolet after mechanical issues prevented him from completing a single qualifying lap.  Though already starting in the back, Townley was thus listed as one of three drivers sent to the rear for post-qualifying adjustments, joining Ben Rhodes in JR Motorsports’ #88 Alpha Energy Solutions Chevrolet and the #40 Racing With Jesus / Courtney Construction Chevrolet of Morgan Shepherd.

Shepherd was originally the lone DNQ in his #89, but the veteran was brought back into the field after the misfortunes of the Motorsports Business Management team.  MBM’s #40 Braille Battery / Grafoid Toyota was originally entered with Josh Reaume, but after a 40th-fastest speed in final practice, Reaume was replaced by T.J. Bell for qualifying.  Unfortunately, Bell lost the engine coming into Turn 1.  With the race barely two hours away and MBM without a backup engine, the team arranged with Shepherd to drive the #89 as MBM’s “backup,” the car hastily renumbered with silver and black tape so it resembled a crude #40.  Shepherd’s ride was ready just in time to follow Townley and Rhodes to the green flag.

Meanwhile, Green was holding station in the 32nd position on Lap 2 when he began to fall back through the field to make his way to pit road.  On Lap 4, he was all by himself, 70 seconds behind the field, when the lead Penske duo of Brad Keselowski and Joey Logano caught up to him entering Turn 11.  Green held the inside as the leaders went side-by-side and cut hard to the right to get out of the way, narrowly avoiding a collision.  The move not only captured the Green on camera, but also allowed Keselowski to take the lead from Logano, the first of nine lead changes before Logano finally prevailed.

Green claimed the record-breaking finish by 5 laps over Townley, whose electrical problems resurfaced with a fire that stopped him at the entrance of Turn 1, bringing out the first caution.  Shepherd’s re-numbered car parked soon after the Lap 13 restart.  Rounding out the Bottom Five were two of JD Motorsports’ three entries, both felled with mechanical issues.  K&N Pro Series West driver Michael Self came home 40th when his #0 Auto Remote Warehouse Chevrolet broke the transmission and stopped in Turn 1.  Moments later, teammate Landon Cassill lost the engine on the #01 Great Outdoors RV Superstore Chevrolet as he exited Turn 10 and narrowly made it to pit road.

LASTCAR STATISTICS
*This marks Green’s first last-place finish in an XFINITY Series race at Watkins Glen since 2011, when his #44 TriStar Motorsports Chevrolet lost the brakes after he completed 1 lap.  That finish was the second in his first streak of four lasts in a row.
*The #19 had never before finished last in an XFINITY Series race at Watkins Glen.

CUP: Kasey Kahne Scores First-Ever Cup Series Last-Place Finish

SOURCE: Jonathan Ferrey, NASCAR

Kasey Kahne picked up the 1st last-place finish of his NASCAR Sprint Cup Series career in Sunday’s Windows 10 400 at the Pocono Raceway when his #5 Aquafina Chevrolet was involved in a single-car accident that ended his race after 3 of 160 laps.  The finish came in Kahne’s 417th series start.

Coming into Pocono, Kahne sat 14th in points, fifth among winless drivers looking to secure a spot in the Chase.  His best finish of 2015 has been a pair of 4th-place runs at Phoenix and Dover, though he’d also picked up a pole at Michigan in June.  Though he’d led just 46 laps, Kahne had kept DNF’s to a minimum, failing to finish just one race - April’s crashfest at Bristol, where he came home 37th.  Still, Kahne looked to nail down a victory, something he’d done at least once in all but three of his twelve seasons on the tour.

However, Kahne has had a checkered past at Pocono.  He’d picked up two victories and two poles at the speedway, but had also crashed out three times.  The most notable crash came in 2010, when Kahne’s #9 Budweiser Ford was sent airborne into the trees along the Long Pond Straightaway, forcing the track to erect a catchfence along the wall.  Last year, the most recent of Kahne’s five 42nd-place finishes took place at Pocono when he crashed late, but Dave Blaney edged him for last by less than one full lap.  With no finishes better than 19th since his most recent top-ten at Sonoma, Kahne hoped Pocono would help him regain momentum.

Kahne debuted a radical new paint scheme at Pocono, running a bright white-and-blue scheme for Aquafina bottled water.  The new car was just 35th-fastest in Friday’s opening practice, but that afternoon he leapt to 16th on the starting grid - just four spots shy of a run at the pole - with an average speed of 176.263 mph.  The car continued to show speed on Saturday, running 12th in Saturday’s first session and 17th in Happy Hour.

During the first three laps of Sunday’s race, the 43rd spot was exchanged between Premium Motorsports teammates Timmy Hill and Reed Sorenson.  With the two-car team continuing to adjust following the departure of Josh Wise, the decision was made to swap the car numbers on Hill and Sorenson’s rides.  Hill would still drive the same black Ford he ran as a backup last week at Indianapolis, though now with the #62 in place of #98.  Sorenson’s white-and-blue Chevrolet would then carry the #98, marking the first time a Chevrolet carried the number since Sonoma in June.  Hill qualified in 43rd and held the spot on the first lap.  Sorenson took it on Lap 2 and was still running there when trouble broke out ahead of them both.

Turn 3 of the 2.5-mile triangular track proved particularly treacherous over the weekend.  Rookie driver Jeb Burton was forced to a backup car when his #26 MAXIM Toyota lost control and slammed right-front-first into the boilerplate pit wall.  Just 3 laps into Sunday’s race, Kahne, running mid-pack at the time, lost control in the same spot and hit the same wall in the same manner, this time hard enough to crack the boilerplate and embed some of the car’s decals in the wall.  The red flag came out for crews to weld the wall back together again while Kahne’s machine was towed behind the wall.  Kahne was apparently uninjured, but out of the race.

The rest of the Bottom Five featured a number of equally-surprising exits.

Current point leader Kevin Harvick was battling teammate Kurt Busch for the lead when his #4 Jimmy John’s / Budweiser Chevrolet lost the engine in Turn 3.  It was not only Harvick’s fourth 42nd-place finish in the series, but Kahne’s crash was all that separated Harvick from his own first last-place finish in 523 career Cup starts.  Harvick’s streak remains the longest among drivers without last-place finishes, besting Jimmie Johnson’s current mark of 492 and Brad Keselowski’s 218.

41st went to Ricky Stenhouse, Jr., whose #17 Ford EcoBoost Ford collided with a slowing Sam Hornish, Jr. entering Turn 1 on Lap 28, causing extensive damage to the nose of Stehouse’s machine.  Hornish himself was involved in a second accident on the Lap 66 restart when he struck the spinning Kurt Busch, forcing the Richard Petty Motorsports team to remove most of the front valence of Hornish’s #9 Medallion Bank Ford.

Hornish came home 39th on Sunday, one spot in front of an unfortunate Trevor Bayne, whose #6 AdvoCare Ford ran over a loose header and punctured his radiator, the overheating issue enough to halt his race after 91 circuits.  After three finishes inside the Top 15 during the month of June, Bayne has since come home no better than 32nd, including back-to-back 40th-place runs.

LASTCAR STATISTICS
*This is the first last-place finish by the #5 in a Cup Series race since April 26, 2009, when Mark Martin’s Carquest / Kellogg’s Chevrolet was involved in a multi-car crash after 6 laps of the Aaron’s 499 at Talladega.  It is, however, the first last-place finish by the #5 in a Cup race at Pocono.
*Kahne is the first Cup driver to score their inaugural last-place finish at Pocono since August 1, 2004, when P.J. Jones lost the brakes on his #50 Arnold Development Companies Dodge after 8 laps of the Pennsylvania 500.

XFINITY: Jeff Green One Last-Place Finish Away From Record Streak

SOURCE: Kris Branch

Jeff Green picked up the 71st last-place finish of his NASCAR XFINITY Series career in Saturday’s U.S. Cellular 250 at the Iowa Speedway when his unsponsored #19 TriStar Motorsports Toyota fell out with a vibration after he completed 3 of the race’s 260 laps.

The finish was Green’s 11th of the season and his fourth in a row.  The streak matches the all-time last-place record Green himself set in August 2011.  With another last-place finish next week at Watkins Glen, Green can become the first driver ever to finish last in five consecutive NASCAR races.  Saturday’s finish occurred in Green’s 406th series start.

At Iowa, Green did not participate in Friday’s opening practice session, but in Happy Hour was the 33rd-fastest of the 39 drivers.  He improved further to 32nd in qualifying with an average speed of 127.314 mph.

Starting 40th on Saturday night was 25-year-old Zach Bruenger, a short tracker from Illinois with three combined starts in the K&N Pro Series East and the X-1R Pro Cup Series.  Bruenger would be making his XFINITY Series debut that night driving owner Jimmy Means’ part-time second entry, the renumbered white #79.  Once again, the #79 was a last-minute addition, allowing a full field of 40 to take the green flag.

Bruenger held the 40th spot for the first three circuits until Green pulled off the track from the 30th position.  Once again, Green was the first driver to retire from the event, locking-up his fourth-straight last-place run.  Bruenger came home 38th, exiting after 20 laps with brake issues as the official cause.  In between Green and Breunger was the Braille Battery / Grafoid Dodge of 39th-place Josh Reaume, who gave Motorsports Business Management’s #40 team its ninth-straight finish of 37th or worse.  Rounding out the Bottom Five were the #89 Racing With Jesus / Barney’s Chevrolet of Morgan Shepherd, now with ten-straight runs of 36th or worse, and the #13 Chevrolet of John Jackson, the Scotsman making his first XFINITY Series start since Chicago in June.

Saturday’s race was also the 904th and final start across NASCAR’s top three divisions for popular veteran driver Kenny Wallace.  Wallace achieved his greatest successes in the XFINITY Series, racking up nine victories over 547 series starts, and was runner-up to Bobby Labonte in the 1991 XFINITY championship.  Though he finished last 12 times across NASCAR’s top three divisions, and in 1998 edged David Green for the year’s LASTCAR Cup title, just three of those 12 finishes came in the XFINITY Series.  In comparison, Mark Martin, Dale Jarrett, and Dale Earnhardt all trailed five XFINITY races each.

LASTCAR STATISTICS
*Jeff Green has now finished last in exactly half of the 12 XFINITY Series races run at Iowa since the track joined the circuit in 2009.
*This marks the first last-place finish for the #19 in an XFINITY Series race at Iowa.

TRUCKS: Caleb Roark Remains 3-For-3 In Last-Place Finishes

SOURCE: SpeedwayMedia.com

Caleb Roark picked up the 6th last-place finish of his NASCAR Camping World Truck Series career in Saturday’s Pocono Mountains 150 at the Pocono Raceway when his #0 Driven2Honor.org Chevrolet fell out with suspension issues after he completed 3 of the race’s 69 laps.

The finish was Roark’s 3rd of the season and his first since his most recent start at Iowa, three races ago.  Roark has finished last in all three of his Truck Series starts in 2015.  Saturday’s finish once again lifts the defending LASTCAR Truck Series Champion into a tie with Norm Benning for the most last-place runs in 2015.  Benning currently leads Roark for the title by a single bottom-five finish, 4-3.

Roark’s truck was the slowest in Friday’s only practice session, coming in 33rd with an average speed of 138.820 mph after a single lap.  However, in qualifying, he secured the 27th starting spot by improving to 153.124 mph, his #0 the fastest truck to not rely on Owner Points.  Missing the show as Tim Viens, who was set to begin a four-race stretch driving Mike Affarano’s #03 Racedaysponsor.com Chevrolet.

The 32nd starting spot on Saturday belonged to local ARCA driver Kyle Martel, who was making his first start of the season in the #50 Hanover Cold Storage / Finish Line Express Chevrolet.  Martel was originally slated to qualify a #59 Chevrolet fielded by his family’s team, but the truck was withdrawn, and Martel brought his sponsorship onto the #50 fielded by MAKE Motorsports.  Also withdrawn before practice was Norm Benning’s second truck, #57, which this week was to be driven by ARCA part-timer Steve Fox.

By Lap 4, Martel was passed for the spot by Roark, who followed into the garage area Justin Jennings in the #36 Mittler Bros. Machine & Tool Chevrolet.  Both Roark and Jennings were the first two retirees - Roark was credited with the last-place finish.

Moments later, trouble broke out in Turn 3 when a battle up front between point leader Matt Crafton and Cup Series regular Brad Keselowski resulted in a crash that destroyed both their trucks.  Extensive repairs to the right side of Crafton’s #88 Chi-Chi’s / Menards Toyota took until just 13 laps to go, and he climbed from 30th to just 28th at the checkered flag.  Keselowski’s #29 Cooper Standard Ford, the nose shoved in hard, was done for the afternoon, coming home seven laps behind 29th-place B.J. McLeod and his overheating #45 Tilted Kilt Chevrolet.
