An oil line failure caused the team's first failure to finish, in the Hyundai Construction Equipment 200 at Atlanta Motor Speedway. [22] Even with four races where the team did not qualify, Brown improved to a then-best finish of 14th at the Lucas Oil 200 at Dover International Speedway. [23] In the season's final race at Homestead-Miami Speedway, Brown's truck stalled after two laps and retired with transmission problems. [24]
