The 2008 Allstate 400 At The Brickyard was a Sprint Cup Series event held at Indianapolis Motor Speedway on July 27, 2008. Jimmie Johnson owned the weekend, starting on the pole, leading half of the race and cruising to victory over Carl Edwards. However, while bricks were kissed, rubber was not. Goodyear tires faced failure after failure after failure, leading to NASCAR throwing a competition caution every dozen laps to prevent further catastrophe. Points leader Kyle Busch was one of those affected, but finished 15th to remain far in front of the competition. Clint Bowyer rejoined the Chase with just six races to go, this coming at the expense of teammate Kevin Harvick, who slid to 13th. Stats
