Bad day for former (and one current) open-wheelers:

Five drivers in Sunday’s race also have raced in the Indianapolis 500. But that certainly didn’t give them an edge in a stock car. #14-Tony Stewart, who has two previous victories in the 400-mile race, was the highest-finishing driver in 17th with an IndyCar background at the Brickyard. #47-A.J. Allmendinger finished 18th, followed by #12-Juan Pablo Montoya in 23rd , #41-Kurt Busch in 28th and #10-Danica Patrick in 42nd . Patrick broke a rear gear while driving away from her pit stall. ‘We looked at everything and it looks like the launch was fine,’ she said. ‘It’s just one of those things.’(Florida Times Union)
