Like his Hendrick Motorsports teammate, Dale Earnhardt, Jr., Jimmie Johnson had to start at the rear of Sunday's NASCAR Sprint Cup Pure Michigan 400. Unlike his teammate, Johnson was forced to start at the rear due to a pre-race engine change while Earnhardt's penalty was due to a wreck in final practice. Johnson had one of the strongest cars in the field and looked poised to overcome starting at the rear to win the race. With only a handful of laps left, the engine on the 48 car soured knocking Johnson out of the lead and out of the race. Fortunately for the Lowe's Chevrolet driver, high attrition didn't drop him as far in the finishing order as other races as he was scored in 27th.
