2013 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series - Race 2 - Subway Fresh Fit 500 Penalty Report

It was a rough day for Kyle Busch and his M&M's/Joe Gibbs Racing team.  Prior to the race, the 18 team was forced to change their car's engine forcing their driver to start the Subway Fresh Fit 500 at the rear of the field instead of where they had qualified, fourth.  Busch was on his way to the front until he spun on lap 49 and hit the wall.  The rest of the event proved to be a struggle for both driver and team and even after getting back on the lead lap in the race's latter stages, Busch found trouble again while trying to avoid running into his older brother, Kurt.  At the checkered flag, Busch crossed the line 23rd, the final car on the lead lap.

Race 35 - Advocare 500 Penalties

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.

Race 2 - Subway Fresh Fit 500 Penalties

Sunday's Subway Fresh Fit 500 at Phoenix International Raceway proved to be a trying race for Ryan Newman and his Wix Filters Chevrolet team. Newman's pit crew lost control of equipment in the pits just past the 100-lap mark in the event, forcing their driver to restart at the tail of the field. Then in the closing stages of the event, Carl Edwards got loose under Newman's 39 car, making contact and sending Newman into the wall. Even with the tail of his race car severely damaged, Newman was able to salvage a respectable 21st place finish in the desert.

Kurt Busch looked to be a contender for the win in Sunday's Kobalt Tools 500 at the newly reconfigured Phoenix International Raceway. Unfortunately, Busch was caught speeding in the pits as he ran out of gas before making a green flag stop while leading. Busch had to serve a drive through penalty which ended his chances of winning. Busch finished the race in 22nd.
