What looked to be a promising day quickly went south for A.J. Allmendinger. The California native started off Sunday's STP 400 on the pole and led the first 44 laps of the 267 lap race. Sadly, the #22 AAA Dodge's time at the front was short lived thanks to an engine issue. Allmendinger soldiered his car to the finish, a disappointing 32nd place finish 10 laps off the lead lap.

It was not a memorable day for Jamie McMurray at what is essentially his home track, Kansas Speedway in Sunday's STP 400. From the beginning of the race, McMurray fell way back from his 6th starting position. In the latter stages of the race, McMurray's pit crew let a tire get away during a stop forcing McMurray to have to make a pass through penalty. The end result was a disappointing 29th place finish, a lap off the leaders.
