Go or blow

There were a lot of problems this weekend with the engines of every manufacturer, especially Toyota. Pole sitter and winner Kyle Busch had to go to the back of the pack after an engine change.

TRD, the engine builders for Michael Waltrip Racing and Red Bull Racing were having issues with the lifters wearing out the lobes on the cam shaft. However, all of their problems came in practice and not in the race like Roush Fenway delt with.

Matt Kenseth lost his engine on lap six, ruining his chances at a first ever three-peat. Then on lap 72, David Ragan, also of Roush Fenway, lost his engine too. But that wasn't the end of their troubles. Carl Edwards, who ran up front all day lost his engine with one lap to go while in the top five.

Mark Martin also blew an engine. His problem came from the engine being over revved. His transmission slipped out of gear and the result was a blown engine.
