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.

Saturday night's NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Quaker State 400 at Kentucky Speedway proved to be a tough race for Regan Smith and his Furniture Row Chevrolet race team. Smith was caught up in Ryan Newman's misfortune on lap 210 when it appeared as though he lost control of his car due to fluid spilled from Newman's machine. The end result was a severely damaged race car and a disappointing 33rd place finish.
