Sunday's Advocare 500 at Phoenix International Raceway was a rather ho hum event for the first 200 laps.  Things changed on lap 236 when NASCAR Sprint Cup championship leader, Jimmie Johnson found misfortune in a flat tire and a visit to the turn four wall.  The latter stages of the 500-kilometer race proved to be even more shocking.  Jeff Gordon gained retaliation on Clint Bowyer after contact that resulted in Gordon meeting the wall.  Unfortunately, Joey Logano and Aric Almirola were also involved in the incident.

Sunday Night's NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Advocare 500 at Atlanta Motor Speedway started off promising for Aric Almirola. Hopes for the 43 team had to be high going into the race as the Florida driver's Ford was emblazoned with the same sponsor as the event. Unfortunately, things did not go so well for the Richard Petty Motorsports team. After starting 13th, Almirola's car began smoking on lap 39 forcing the driver off the track for several laps. The Advocare team was able to make repairs and salvage points but their driver ended up being caught by NASCAR for speeding entering the pits twice, first during a green flag stop then another while trying to serve the initial penalty. Almirola finished 32nd, 30 laps off the lead lap.
