Kasey Kahne looked to have a fast car in Sunday's NASCAR Sprint Cup Series AAA 400 at Dover but had to overcome adversity.  The first problem came when the 5 car was caught a lap down due to an untimely caution.  The Farmer's Insurance team was able to regain their lap but hopes for a top 10 finish went down the drain late in the going with the crew made a costly error in the pits by not installing all five lug nuts.  Serving the penalty cost Kahne a lap and several positions and instead of a top 10 run, the 5 car finished 15th, three laps down to race winner, Brad Keselowski.

Coming off an impressive run at Richmond where he slid his way into NASCAR's Chase For The Sprint Cup, Jeff Gordon looked to follow it up with a good day at Chicagoland Speedway in the Geico 400. Gordon was running well in his DuPont Chevrolet until a stuck throttle forced him into the wall, effectively knocking him out of the race and severely hurting his chance at the 2012 Cup

As usual, Jimmie Johnson and his Lowe's Chevrolet team was in the hunt for the victory in Sunday night's Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway. The five-time Nextel Cup champion's night went sour in his final stop as miscommunication in the pits allowed for a costly mistake to happen when the 48 team's fuel man was unable to pull the fuel can out from the car's intake receptacle. The mistake not only cost the Hendrick Motorsports driver a chance at the win, it also took him off the lead lap and out of the top 10 as Johnson crossed the finish line 11th, a lap off the pace of race winner and teammate, Kasey Kahne.
