Race 23 - Pure Michigan 400 Penalties

Though he and his team have been strong throughout the entire 2012 NASCAR Sprint Cup season, Dale Earnhardt, Jr. and his National Guard/Diet Mountain Dew Chevy team found themselves on shaky ground following final practice Saturday. Earnhardt spun and hit the turn two wall late in the session forcing his Hendrick Motorsports team to a backup car for Sunday's Pure Michigan 400. Unfortunately, Earnhardt was unable to return to the track to practice and had to start Sunday's race cold turkey. Earnhardt ran a solid race thanks in part to the strategy of his crew chief, Steve Letarte. Earnhardt came from the rear of the field to lead twice for 25 laps and score a fourth place finish in the 400-mile event.

2011 Year In Review: Mark Martin's Penalties

Photo by Jerry Markland/Getty Images for NASCAR

2011 brought winds of change for the most experienced full-time NASCAR Sprint Cup driver, Mark Martin. Who would have guessed that Martin would have his worst season of his entire career while driving for Hendrick Motorsports, one of the very best teams in all of NASCAR.

Martin had a career low of only two top five finishes in 2011, the first coming at Dover in the FedEx 400 with a second and the other coming at Michigan in the Pure Michigan 400 with a fourth. Martin scored 10 top 10 finishes in 2011, the lowest amount since 2003. The previous time Martin had less than 11 top 10 finishes prior to 2003 was in his first season with Roush Racing in 1988. The highlights of Martin's season came in qualifying at Daytona in July and Talladega in October when his GoDaddy.com car took pole position in both races.

Even though 2011 was a tough year for Martin and the 5 crew, they were able to avoid getting penalized by NASCAR for most of the year. Martin was penalized a single time for passing on a restart. His crew did not receive any penalties at all all year long.

The title of most penalized driver of the 2011 NASCAR Sprint Cup season goes to Dave Blaney. Unfortunately for Blaney, he and his team earned 16 total driver and pit crew penalties for the season. Blaney also leads all drivers when the penalties for starting at the rear of the field and pitting before pit road is open are added up. Four drivers tied for having the least amount of penalties during the season. Keep in mind these drivers attempted to start all 36 races in 2011 and attempted to run the full distance in each event. The least penalized drivers are Mark Martin, Denny Hamlin, Carl Edwards and Clint Bowyer.
