Danica Patrick fell victim to a late caution and finished 31st in the NASCAR Nationwide Series race at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana.

She was in 29th place on Lap 130, three laps behind the race leaders.

Brendan Gaughan spun out on Lap 144 to bring out a caution period. Patrick dropped to 30th place before Gaughan spun out.

Patrick came into the pits and when the race restarted on Lap 149, Patrick was in 31st. She stayed there after a green-white-checker flag finish that saw Joey Logano spinning across the finish line.

Kyle Busch won the race, passing Greg Biffle on the final turn. Busch led four laps of the race.

Logano, who led a race-high 130 laps, got bumped by Biffle on the green-white-checker finish and spun out on the infield grass.
