We did that tonight. We’re hitting on some things that should help us run faster longer.’’ Matt Kenseth and Kevin Harvick didn't get a lap in before time expired in the final round and started eleventh and twelfth as a result. “We had a big miscommunication tonight and didn’t get @KevinHarvick off of pit road in time to run a lap in the final qualifying session,’’ Childers tweeted. “Apologies to all of the sponsors and fans. We will make sure it doesn’t happen again.’’ While three of the Hendrick cars made it to the final round of qualifying, Jeff Gordon didn't make it out of the first round. “It just disappoints us,’’ Gordon said of his qualifying performance. “We know our car is much better than this. These are about as challenging conditions as you can have when you have a really hot day like this and the sun goes down and it’s a total guessing game. We guessed wrong. We just missed the setup. The car has plenty of speed in it, so I’m not concerned about the race.’’ The two drivers who failed to qualify were Dave Blaney and J. J. Yeley.

However, he had to start at the back of the field, after crashing during the session, which necessitated a change to a backup car. Joe Gibbs Racing were able to get Busch's backup onto the track for the final 20 minutes of final practice. In his first run Busch radioed that the backup was "not even close to the other one," but by the end the driver was turning competitive laps that would keep him in contention. "We got the backup on the race track, and he ran some decent laps. They were competitive," Jimmy Makar said. "I think it's a good race car, so I think we should be in OK shape there. There were a couple of really fast cars in practice today that you'll have to contend with. But we'll have something he can race with, for sure."http://www.nascar.com/en_us/news-media/articles/2014/5/24/kyle-busch-goes-to-backup-car-charlotte-coca-cola-600.html Kyle Busch leads final practice, but forced to backup car Caraviello David NASCAR Media Group, LLC. May 24, 2014 NASCAR.com May 24, 2014 Points leader Jeff Gordon sat out the final practice session due to back spasms. In fact, he only ran 11 laps in the second session before getting out of the car. "It doesn't do me any good to be out there in the car right now especially when the car is as good as it is," Gordon told Fox Sports 1. "It's really about getting prepared for 600 miles. I have no doubts that I can be in this car and be competitive if I take it easy over the next 24 hours." Gordon had a similar problem before the 2009 Coca-Cola 600, where he underwent a facet block procedure a few days before the event. Gordon suffered back spasms Thursday during qualifying. With no track activity Friday, Gordon rested his back but was still in pain Saturday. "I know he'll do everything he can to get in there and go," crew chief Alan Gustafson said about Gordon driving in the race. Nationwide Series championship leader Regan Smith was on standby if Gordon was not able to run the entire race. "We've tested a lot with Regan and have a really good baseline," Gustafson said, noting Smith drove Gordon's car at the NASCAR test at Charlotte in December. "We're real confident knowing what he'll need as far as the car drives."http://www.mrn.com/Race-Series/NASCAR-Sprint-Cup/News/Articles/2014/05/Back-Spasms-Slow-Jeff-Gordon.aspx Back Spasms Will Keep Gordon Out Of Final Practice Long Dustin Motor Racing Network May 24, 2014 MRN.com May 24, 2014 https://web.archive.org/web/20140525200204/http://www.mrn.com/Race-Series/NASCAR-Sprint-Cup/News/Articles/2014/05/Back-Spasms-Slow-Jeff-Gordon.aspx May 25, 2014 dead Pos No. Car number Driver Team Manufacturer Time Speed MPH 1 18 Kyle Busch Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota 28.626 188.640 2 22 Joey Logano Team Penske Ford 28.683 188.265 3 10 Danica Patrick Stewart–Haas Racing Chevrolet 28.747 187.846Official final practice results Race thumb|Jimmie Johnson won the race from the pole position. The Coca-Cola 600 was scheduled to start at 6:18 p.m. but started five minutes late with Jimmie Johnson leading the field to the green flag. Johnson surrendered the lead on lap 48 to make his first stop of the race. Brad Keselowski assumed the lead. Keselowski ducked onto pit road on lap 49 and the lead cycled back to Johnson. During the cycle, Marcos Ambrose had to serve a pass-through penalty after an uncontrolled tire left his pit box. Kevin Harvick took the lead on lap 76. Harvick hit pit road on lap 96 and handed the lead back to Jimmie Johnson. Johnson stopped the next lap and the lead cycled back to Kevin. After going caution-free for the first 108 laps, debris in turn 3 brought out the first caution of the race. Kevin Harvick swapped the lead with Jimmie Johnson, with the former being pitted behind the start/finish line, but exited pit road with the lead. The race restarted on lap 114. Debris on the backstretch brought out the second caution of the race on lap 148. As it was the previous caution, Harvick swapped the lead with Johnson. Only this time, Jimmie exited with the lead. The race restarted on lap 154. The third caution of the race flew on lap 164 when David Gilliland cut down his right-front tire and slammed the wall in turn 1. Brad Keselowski opted not to pit when the leaders did and moved back to the lead. The race restarted on lap 170. Kevin Harvick took back the lead on lap 192. Harvick hit pit road on lap 213 and handed the lead to Jeff Gordon. Gordon dove onto pit road on lap 214 and handed the lead to teammate Dale Earnhardt Jr. Earnhardt Jr. pitted the next lap and the lead went to Jamie McMurray. Teammate Kyle Larson cut down his right-front tire but made it to pit road without any hiccups. McMurray gave up the lead to pit on lap 216 and Kevin Harvick cycled back to the front. Debris on the backstretch brought out the fourth caution of the race on lap 223. Dale Earnhardt Jr. didn't pit with the leaders and assumed the lead. The race restarted on lap 228. The fifth caution of the race flew on lap 235 when Marcos Ambrose cut down his right-rear tire and spun out exiting turn 4. Landon Cassill got turned by Josh Wise trying to avoid Ambrose. Brian Scott, trying to avoid the spinning Ambrose as well, tagged the wall, bounced into Danica Patrick, hooked her and sent her into the wall. She didn't suffer any damage tagging the wall, but she tore up the left-rear corner panel. Dale Earnhardt Jr. stopped during the caution period and Jamie McMurray moved to the head of the line. The race restarted on lap 242. McMurray hit pit road on lap 271 and handed the lead to Matt Kenseth. The sixth caution of the race flew on lap 274 when Kurt Busch, who had been dealing with dropped cylinders, blew an engine on the backstretch. Busch, who finished sixth in the Indianapolis 500, would finish a disappointing 40th.http://racing.ap.org/article/blown-engine-ends-buschs-double-run Blown engine ends Busch's 'Double' run Gelston Reed Dan Steve The Associated Press May 25, 2014 racing.ap.org January 17, 2015 https://web.archive.org/web/20150123211526/http://racing.ap.org/article/blown-engine-ends-buschs-double-run January 23, 2015 dead "It acted like it swallowed three cylinders all at once," he said. "It's kind of a shame. It symbolizes how tough it has been for (my NASCAR) team. I thought it was great racing in traffic. The feel of the stock car right after driving the IndyCar is a feeling I'll never forget." Kurt ended completing 907 of the 1,100 combined miles that make up the Indianapolis 500 and the Coca-Cola 600. Kenseth and Jeff Gordon swapped the lead on pit road, with the former pitted behind the start/finish line, but Jimmie Johnson found himself back in the lead. The race restarted on lap 283. The seventh caution of the race flew on lap 286 when Danica Patrick, who was dealing with the same ailments that plagued her teammate Kurt Busch, blew an engine exiting turn 4 and slammed the wall. The race restarted on lap 294 and Matt Kenseth made his way to the lead. Jimmie Johnson passed Kenseth in turn 1 to take back the lead on lap 312. Johnson surrendered the lead to pit on lap 331 and handed the lead to Brad Keselowski. Keselowski pitted with 57 laps to go and Aric Almirola assumed the lead. Almirola ducked onto pit road with 56 laps to go and the lead cycled back to Jimmie Johnson. Johnson made his final pit stop with 27 laps to go and handed the lead to his teammate Jeff Gordon. Gordon pitted the next lap and handed the lead to Carl Edwards. The eighth caution of the race flew with 22 laps to go after Alex Bowman slammed the wall in turn 3. Edwards pitted and handed the lead back to Gordon. The race restarted with 17 laps to go and Jeff Gordon on two new tires couldn't hold off Matt Kenseth with four. Jimmie Johnson took the lead with nine laps to go and pulled away from Kevin Harvick to score his first win of the season and first points win at Charlotte Motor Speedway since 2009.http://www.mrn.com/Race-Series/NASCAR-Sprint-Cup/News/Articles/2014/05/Jimmie-Johnson-Wins-Coca-Cola-600.aspx Johnson Back in Victory Lane Pistone Pete Motor Racing Network May 25, 2014 MRN.com January 17, 2015 https://web.archive.org/web/20141129050821/http://www.mrn.com/Race-Series/NASCAR-Sprint-Cup/News/Articles/2014/05/Jimmie-Johnson-Wins-Coca-Cola-600.aspx November 29, 2014 dead In the process, he broke a tie with Bobby Allison for the most wins at Charlotte. “There are more people fretting about things than myself,” said Johnson. “I mean what 12 races? Give me a break. Obviously it’s great to win and we are very happy to win here especially in the backyard of Hendrick Motorsports, Lowe’s headquarters is just up the road as well. I was happy to get by the No. 24 (Jeff Gordon) and then the No. 20 (Kenseth). I wasn't sure I was going to get by both of them, but I did and brought this baby home." “Yeah. We had a fast car all night,” said Harvick. “Just kind of fumbled again on pit road. Got behind, got a lap down.
