2011 Year In Review: Andy Lally's Penalties


Photo by Chris Trotman/Getty Images for NASCAR

Patience was the key going into the 2011 NASCAR Sprint Cup season for rookie driver, Andy Lally and his TRG Motorsports team. It was almost certainly going to be a tough road to hoe as Lally was jumping straight into the deep end of the pool basically without knowing how to swim. Lally had virtually no oval track experience at the start of the year making him a rookie among rookies.

One of the positive things Lally and his shoe-string budgeted team had going for them all season long was that they were almost certainly ensured the 2011 NASCAR Sprint Cup Rookie of the Year awards. Lally's only competition came in the form of Brian Keselowski and later T.J. Bell. Both drivers were racing for teams with even less financing than TRG's #71 and ended up posing no challenge for the award.

2011 was most definitely a challenge for Lally. He averaged a 37.6 starting position on the year and an average finishing position of 30.8 with his best finish of 19th coming at Talladega in the Aaron's 499. In spite of those numbers, Lally did a good job keeping the 71 in the top 35 for most of the season, qualifying for 30 of the 36 events, only DNQing for three events while the other three he missed were due to having a different driver in the car. Unfortunately for Lally, he was replaced just before the season finale at Homestead and will not be returning to NASCAR's Sprint Cup series in 2012.

Lally did a good job early in the season avoiding getting penalties in the pits in spite of his lack of experience pitting in NASCAR Sprint Cup series' conditions. Lally only had two speeding penalties in the first half of the season, both coming in the third race of the season at Las Vegas. However Lally was exceptionally mistake prone in the second half of the season, getting black flagged five times for speeding in the pits. The TRG pit crew did their job all year long without getting a penalty from NASCAR.

2011 Year In Review: Trevor Bayne's Penalties


Photo by Jerry Markland/Getty Images for NASCAR

There aren't too many athletes who can say that they've won their sport's biggest event in their very first try. 20 year old Trevor Bayne is one of the few who can make such a statement. In only his second career start in the NASCAR Sprint Cup series, Bayne won his first race in the series primere event, the Daytona 500. Perhaps it shouldn't have been such a big surprise. Prior to the event, Bayne showed a lot of strength behind the Wood Brothers' #21 Motorcraft Ford. But still, for someone so young and with so little experience to come though and take a victory, any victory had to be a shock.

Bayne's Daytona 500 victory certainly was the highlight of the season. However the young driver from Tennessee had the biggest scare of his life in 2011 too as he was forced out of racing for several weeks due to a still unknown illness. Thankfully Bayne was able to return to racing his full-time Nationwide Series ride for Roush Racing and his part-time Cup Series ride for the Wood Brothers.

As expected with any young driver, there are going to be mistakes made during the season. While Bayne was no exception to the rule, he did a fine job minimizing his mistakes. Bayne was penalized a mere three times in the 17 Cup races he ran in 2011. The experienced Wood Brothers pit crew was in fine form in each race they were in too. The crew tallied only one penalty in the final race in Homestead.

2011 Year In Review: Kyle Busch's Penalties


Photo by Rainier Ehrhardt/Getty Images for NASCAR

There is no doubt that the 2011 NASCAR Sprint Cup season was a memorable one for Kyle Busch and his M&M's sponsored race teams. Unfortunately, it was not for good reasons. What looked to be another great season was derailed by another mediocre performance in NASCAR's Chase for the Sprint Cup and a suspension in the 34th race of the season at Texas Motor Speedway.

The season started off just fine for the #18 Joe Gibbs Racing team. Busch notched two victories in the first 10 races of the season, the first in the Jeff Byrd 500 at Bristol and the second at Richmond in the Crown Royal Presents the Matthew and Daniel Hansen 400. In three races Busch didn't win at Phoenix, Fontana and Martinsville, Busch was dominant but came up short with finishes of second, third and third.

Busch stayed steady through the summer stretch, winning the inaugural Quaker State 400 at Kentucky Speedway. Five races later, Busch was victorious at Michigan in the Pure Michigan 400. Unfortunately for Busch and his team, once the Chase started the season seemed to flip a switch from great to very bad. Busch only had one top five and two top 10s in the final 10 events where going into the Chase he already had 13 top 5s and 16 top 10s. To top it all off, NASCAR banned Busch for the rest of the weekend at Texas after he had an on-track run-in with Ron Hornaday, Jr. in the truck race on Friday night. It was the first race since 2004 that Kyle Busch wasn't on track for a NASCAR Sprint Cup event.

Engine problems seemed to plague all three of Joe Gibbs Racing's Toyotas in 2011. Three times in the year, Busch had to start at the rear due to a pre-race engine change. Busch was blackflagged by NASCAR three times during the year, once for speeding, once for not slowing down in the pits when avoiding an on-track incident and once for a commitment line violation. The #18 crew was spot on all year long as they did not recieve a penalty all season.

2011 Year In Review: Landon Cassill's Penalties


Photo by Todd Warshaw/Getty Images for NASCAR

Landon Cassill's plans for the 2011 season weren't certain at the start of the year. Cassill likely figured he would be competing on and off in NASCAR's Nationwide Series more than he would in the Sprint Cup series as he registered himself to score points in the Nationwide Series. Things changed after Cassill scored a career best third place finish in the Nationwide Series season opener at Daytona, the DRIVE4COPD 300. Cassill's car owner for the event, James Finch decided to move the 21 year old driver up to his Sprint Cup car and that's where Cassill stayed for the duration of the year.

Cassill started the Cup season in a start and park role, driving the second, third and fourth races in the #60 Germain Racing car. Cassill jumped in Finch's 09 (later 51) car in the Auto Club 400 at Auto Club Speedway. Cassill qualified for every race from that point on with the exception of the two road course events and the August race at Bristol. Cassill kept the team in the top 35 in points all season while having several good runs, particularly on the restrictor plate tracks. However, Cassill and the team's best finish of 12th was at Michigan in the Heluva Good! Sour Cream Dips 400.

The penalty report for Cassill in 2011 indicates that while he had several very good runs on the year, Cassill was also involved in several incidents during the season. Cassill had to break the rule for pitting before the pits were open nine times in 2011. More often than not, a driver who breaks this rule is doing so because they were involved in some sort of incident. Cassill also had an additional penalty for the same thing, but it was a case where he did not have damage to his car. For a low budget operation and a young driver, Cassill and the Phoenix Racing team did a good job in the pits. Combined between the driver and crew, there were only two penalties all year long, one due to Cassill speaking in the pits and one by the crew for not having all the lug nuts installed.

2011 Year In Review: Jimmie Johnson's Penalties


Photo by Chris Trotman/Getty Images for NASCAR

Nothing good lasts forever. Jimmie Johnson can attest to that. Going into the 2011 NASCAR Sprint Cup season, Johnson and his Lowe's Chevrolet team were five-time defending champions. It's not that 2011 was a bad season for the Hendrick Motorsports team, but it was evident throughout the year that the 48 car was not what it once was in the previous five years.

Johnson notched only two victories in 2011, the lowest ever in his NASCAR Cup career. One of those victories came more through racing luck than Johnson's talent behind the wheel or his team's precision in the pits. Johnson was the winner of the "lottery" in the Aaron's 499 at Talladega, thanks to a huge push from his teammate, Dale Earnhardt, Jr. Johnson's second victory came in the Hollywood Casino 400 thanks in part to superior fuel strategy. There's no doubt that of the 12 Chase contenders, Johnson was the man to beat. Unfortunately, Johnson was never a serious factor in the battle for the NASCAR Sprint Cup title in the final 10 events even with the Kansas victory.

Penalties for the Lowe's Chevrolet driver and team might be an indication as to why the 48 car did not seem to be its usual self. Johnson was penalized a surprising five times on the year, once for speeding, once for pitting before the pits were open when he didn't have any problems, once for dragging metal on the track, once for violating the stop/go sign and once for a commitment line violation. The Lowe's pit crew had three penalties in 2011, twice for lug nut violations and once for removing equipment from their pit box.

2011 Year In Review: Juan Pablo Montoya's Penalties


Photo by Jerry Markland/Getty Images for NASCAR

Bogota, Columbia's Juan Pablo Montoya entered his fifth full season in NASCAR's Sprint Cup Series in 2011 expecting to contend for wins and a spot in the Chase. Unfortunately neither goal was met for the Target driver as Montoya spent most of the season as an also-ran.

Montoya started the season with four top 10 finishes in the first eight races of the season. However in the next 28 events, Montoya would only score four other top 10 runs. After the Lenox Industrial Tools 301 at New Hampshire, car owner fired crew chief Brian Pattie and installed James Pohlman as Montoya's new head wrench. Still, 2011 had some good moments for the #42 Earnhardt Ganassi Racing machine. Montoya notched two poles at Auto Club Speedway and at Richmond International Raceway. In addition, Montoya finished every race on the Sprint Cup schedule and completed 99.5% of all the laps ran, only 48 shore of the perfect mark.

Things were relativly quiet on the penalty side of things. Montoya was caught speeding only four times all year while his Target pit crew only cost him on one occasion for not having all the lug nuts on a wheel during a stop.

2011 Year In Review: Kurt Busch's Penalties


Photo by Jerry Markland/Getty Images for NASCAR

Nobody could have predicted how Kurt Busch's 2011 NASCAR Sprint Cup season would have gone. The 2004 NASCAR Nextel Cup champion was most definitely a threat for the 2011 title but what was a great season ended up falling apart in the closing races of the year.

Busch started the season with a steady string of top 10 finishes. While the Shell/Pennzoil Dodge race team was pretty consistent, things really changed for the entire Penske Racing operation at Kansas Speedway in the STP 400. Busch won his first pole of the season and his car went from a top 10 car to a top 5 car almost overnight. Busch backed up the Kansas pole with two more at Pocono and Michigan, however the 22 team didn't find victory lane until stop 16 at Infineon Raceway. Busch dominated the Toyota/Save Mart 350 for his first win of the season.

Busch continued to knock off good finishes and made the Chase for the Sprint Cup. Once the Chase started, it appeared as though the 22 team fell apart. While they scored a victory at Dover in the AAA 400, it was one of only two top 10 finishes Busch and crew had during the Chase. Busch finished a very disappointing 11th in the final points standings, but the season was not over yet. Video leaked of Busch in a verbal tirade toward ESPN pit reporter, Dr. Jerry Punch while Busch was in the garage area in the final race of the year at Homestead. Subsequently, Roger Penske and Busch went their separate ways after the conflict and now it is unclear who will pilot the 22 Dodge and whether or not Busch will even participate in the 2012 NASCAR Sprint Cup season.

Surprisingly, Busch garnered several black flag penalties from NASCAR in 2011. In all, Busch was penalized an astounding eight times for speeding in the pits. Busch was also penalized once for illegally pulling up to pit and twice for pitting before pit road was open when he did not have any issues. The 22 team was not penalized once in 2011.

2011 Year In Review: Greg Biffle's Penalties


Photo by Jared C. Tilton/Getty Images for NASCAR

There's no denying that 2011 was not the kind of year that Greg Biffle or his 3M Ford team expected to have in NASCAR's Sprint Cup series. While Biffle did have a career best three poles on the year, he tied his 2003 career low of only three top five finishes and a career low of 10 top 10 finishes.

By no means was Biffle not in contention for several wins in 2011, it just seemed as though mistakes in the pits ended up costing he and his team a chance at victory. Two of Biffle's best chances of getting a win were both Charlotte races. In the Coca-Cola 600, Biffle led 50 laps but was knocked out of contention when he was caught speeding in the pits and forced to serve a drive through penalty. In the second event at Charlotte Motor Speedway the Bank of America 500, Biffle almost certainly had the car to beat. The #16 Roush Racing Ford led 68 of the 334 laps in the event but a lug nut error by the pit crew during a stop cost Biffle all important track position, effectively taking him out of a chance to win. In all, Biffle was blackflagged by NASCAR four times in 2011 for speeding in the pits and once for jumping out of line prior to crossing the start/finish line on a restart. Meanwhile the 3M crew only had two penalties all year long.

2011 Year In Review: Robby Gordon's Penalties


Photo by Jared C. Tilton/Getty Images for NASCAR

2011 proved to be dismal for Robby Gordon and his self-owned race team. It was the first time in his 18 year NASCAR Sprint Cup career that he did not have a top 10 finish in a season where he attempted all or most of the events. 16th in the season opening Daytona 500 was the best finish Gordon could muster. Gordon's next best finish in 2011 was 18th at Infineon Raceway in the Toyota Save Mart 350.

Gordon attempted to qualify in 26 of the 36 races on the NASCAR Sprint Cup schedule. Of those events, Gordon only failed to qualify for one, the inaugural Quaker State 400 at Kentucky Speedway. The other 10 races were started by Reed Sorenson, Johnny Sauter and Scott Wimmer. Of those 10 events, Gordon's #7 Dodge missed the field twice with a best finish of 27th by Wimmer in the Lenox Industrial Tools 301 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. With all the struggles of 2011 and an uncertain 2012, it's unknown whether or not Gordon will be able to continue fielding his own team in the Sprint Cup series.

Gordon was only penalized by NASCAR three times during the season, once for speeding in the pits, once for a commitment line violation and once for leaking gear oil. Gordon's pit crew only had one infraction for too many crew members over the wall. Gordon managed to have a somewhat humorous series of penalties in the eighth race of the season at Talladega, the Aaron's 499. Sam Hornish, Jr, who was subbing for Gordon in qualifying had his time disqualified by NASCAR. Since the 7 car was locked into the top 35 in points Gordon was able to still start the event but at the rear of the field. Because of the driver substitution, Gordon had to serve another pre-race penalty for starting in the rear. Also because Gordon's crew made changes to the car in an impound situation, Gordon was penalized a third time to start the rear of the field for the race.

2011 Year In Review: David Ragan's Penalties


Photo by Jerry Markland/Getty Images for NASCAR

2011 NASCAR Sprint Cup season proved to be a real roller coaster ride for David Ragan and his UPS, Roush Racing team. The season started off with a costly mistake by the driver in the Daytona 500, hit a high point mid-season with Ragan's first victory and ended with Ragan out of a ride for 2012. However, at the time of this writing Ragan's ride on the roller coaster may be hitting a high point in the coming days with speculation of him taking over one of the premiere rides in all of the Sprint Cup series.

Statistically, the 2011 season was Ragan's second best out of the five seasons he's competed in NASCAR's Sprint Cup series. However stats don't make up for races that are lost, especially when they are due to errors that could have been prevented. Ragan can attest to that as he was lined up to potentially win the season opening race, the Daytona 500. Ragan and his Ford team overcame having to start at the rear of the field in a backup car to be within just a scant few laps of winning the Great American Race. On the next to last restart, Ragan jumped out of line bringing out a black flag and taking Ragan out of contention for the victory.

Things got better when the series returned to Daytona in July as Ragan took home his first victory ever in NASCAR's Sprint Cup series. Unfortunately, Ragan's inconsistency in 2011 along with not having sponsorship lined up for 2012 forced him out of the #6 car at the end of the year. There is the potential that Ragan may be at the head of the line to take over one of the best cars in the series for 2012. With Kurt Busch losing his ride in Roger Penske's Shell/Pennzoil #22 Dodge, rumors are abound that Ragan is the top pick to take the wheel in 2012. However, nothing has been confirmed as of this posting.

Other than a bad series of mistakes in the 11th race of the season at Dover, Ragan and his UPS crew were able to avoid getting any major penaltys from NASCAR in 2011. In the FedEx 400 at Dover, the crew made the mistake of having too many members over the wall. On the next stop just a handful of laps later, Ragan ran the stop/go sign at the end of pit road. When coming to serve that penalty, Ragan was caught speeding and was penalized yet again. Thankfully, the 6 crew only had one more penalty at Infineon Raceway in the Toyota Save Mart 350 where they were caught with too many members over the wall again. From that point on, Ragan and the team were penalized only once in the remaining 20 events.
