Quick-Silver Motorsports is in severe dismay! Craig Lee was leading the Pocono 400 with 70 laps to go. Spook made a conservative call to pit, ensuring that they could make it to end on one more stop. Nobody else came in, dropping them to 40th on the restart. They would gain only eight more positions and place 32nd by the end. Five finishes of 37th or worse in the previous six races had already devastated the NOS Energy team, with their early-race domination completely depleted after the pit call. This final blow led to the eventual firing of Millikan after a full decade of success. "We've had speed all season and fell to the gremlins week after week. It's not Spook's fault." said Lee. "Nobody had to be blamed but he took the fall. I'm devastated." Needless to say, many teams will be ecstatic to acquire his services.
