NASCAR Number: 384 (Oct. 1, 2012)
By Reid Spencer NASCAR Wire Service
384: The total numbers of laps led in Sunday’s AAA 400 by Kyle Busch, Jimmie Johnson and Denny Hamlin, none of whom won the race. Busch led 302 of the 400 laps, but for the seventh straight time in a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series event, he failed to win a race in which he led the most laps. Johnson led 43 laps on Sunday and Hamlin 39. All three drivers, however, were short on fuel at the end. Busch and Hamlin came to pit road in the final 10 laps, giving up their winning chances, and Johnson slowed to a crawl over the last 50 laps to conserve fuel, making a winner of Brad Keselowski, who led 14 laps.
