Things looked dire for Jimmie Johnson and his Lowe's Home Improvement Chevrolet team on lap 137 when the five-time NASCAR Sprint Cup Series champion lost control of his car off turn four and hit the wall. Fortunately for the 48 team, the damage suffered in the incident was not extensive and the crew was able to make repairs to the car and keep it on track on the lead lap. The hard work of the crew prevented their driver from falling further behind points leader, Brad Keselowski in the standings as Johnson was able to rally to a ninth place finish in the Hollywood Casino 400 at the newly reconfigured Kansas Speedway. Thanks to leading 44 laps to Keselowski's 0, Johnson was able to maintain the seven point gap in the standings.
