Race 36 - Ford Ecoboost 400 Penalties

No one was more aware of the tough mountain that the 48 team would have to climb to claim the 2012 NASCAR Sprint Cup championship more than they did.  Jimmie Johnson and his Lowe's Chevrolet crew gave all they could to try to make up the 20 point deficit on Brad Keselowski but a failed rear gear sealed the fate for the team and any chance they had to catch Keselowski's Miller Lite Dodge crew.  Adding insult to injury was a miscue in the pits, a lug nut not being installed which forced Johnson to return to add the missing nut.
