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.

After a week away from the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, many thought Kurt Busch would return to the series with a fresh start for the rest of the 2012 season. Unfortunately, things quickly turned sour for Busch just after the drop of the initial green flag. Busch spun and tagged the wall off turn two taking away any chance of having a decent finish in the Quicken Loans 400 at the Michigan International Speedway. Busch spun for a second time later in the race and ended up crossing the line in 30th, six laps off the lead lap pace.

Race 23 - Pure Michigan 400 Penalties

Kevin Harvick struggled throughout the Pure Michigan 400. Harvick's crew had an early pit road miscue due to lug nuts not being installed on the car which knocked Harvick to the rear of the field on the subsequent restart. Harvick was never a contender and ended up with a lackluster 22nd place finish.

Race 15 - Heluva Good! Sour Cream Dips 400 Penalties

There were only two major penalties in Sunday's Heluva Good! Sour Cream Dips 400, the most painful going against Martin Truex, Jr. Truex's pit crew did not install lugnuts during a green flag stop and Truex was forced to return to the pits costing him a lead lap position. The penalty completely ruined Truex's day as he and his team were relegated to a 26th place finish, the first car not on the lead lap.
