After a week off in the schedule the Earnhardt Ganassi team had lots of pits and falls at the Richmond International Raceway

Juan Pablo Montoya began the Matthew and Daniel Hansen 400 at Richmond International Raceway from the pole position and appeared to be on his way to a top-10 finish. After leading early, Montoya found himself solidly running inside of the top-10 until contact with another car gave Montoya damage to his right rear. The damage forced Montoya to pit and fall off of the lead lap. Montoya came home with a 29th place finish.

Jamie McMurray started from the 17th position and ran inside the top-20 for much of the evening. By the half-way point, McMurray had cracked the top-10 before getting damage in a multi-car accident. McMurray battled back from the damage for an 18th place finish.
