Hard-luck day for Joe Gibbs Racing

Kyle Busch, winner of the NASCAR Nextel Cup series race at Bristol Motor Speedway, said he did not have the car that was the class of the field in Sunday's race.
That car belonged to Tony Stewart.
Denny Hamlin, Stewart's teammate at Joe Gibbs Racing, had a good car too. Even J.J. Yeley had his moments in the race.
All three Gibbs drivers ran into trouble in the race.
Stewart's car had a fuel pump cable break and he finished 35th.
Hamlin had a similar fuel problem and, after leading 177 laps, nursed his car to a 14th-place finish.
Yeley led for nine laps at Bristol before a bad exhaust header knocked him out of the race.
"We certainly weren't the class of the field. Tony Stewart was that," said Busch, driver of the No. 5 Chevrolet for Hendrick Motorsports. "Denny Hamlin was awfully strong as well and the Evernham cars were really good too. They just had bad breaks and had trouble."
Stewart's crew chief Greg Zipadelli said he was proud of the effort his crew put in to get the No. 20 Chevrolet back on the race track and finish the race.
"They kept their chins up and came back here tough and we brought back a really good race car," Zipadelli said. "But, we don’t have anything to show for it. We’ll go to Martinsville next week and try to have a better race."
