Not enough cautions
That would be Jimmie Johnson's complaint about Sunday's race.
Everyone saw the Kahne spin. Johnson figured that would bring out a yellow flag. It didn't, Johnson stayed on the track and lost the race. That's more bad luck for the 48 crew.
But Dustin Long notes an earlier instance where Johnson waited in vain for a caution. Said Johnson in today's teleconference:
"We certainly needed that caution at that point. That definitely hurt us in having a shot at winning that race."
That earlier instance? It was when teammate Jeff Gordon's car conked out on the backstretch and Hendrick-driver-for-life Terry Labonte pushed him back to the pits.

Hey the Labonte angle was my idea! He stole it from my comic!
OK, actually I stole it from him.
