They were probably trying something different because of the shorter distance of this race. I'm sure it won't make it into a points paying race ever.

Here are JGR quotes about the engines for the race tonight:
TONY STEWART, No. 20 Home Depot Toyota Camry, Joe Gibbs Racing
Finished: 5th How worried were you about your motor holding together after your teammates had trouble?
"We had problems yesterday and that's what got us in the situation. We didn't have the problem that they had, but we had it first yesterday. Unfortunately it was one of those deals tonight where it was just like pulling a pin on a grenade -- didn't know when it was going to go off for those guys. It was experimental stuff and tonight's the night to try that stuff. When it comes time to run 600 miles next week, we can do it."DENNY HAMLIN, No. 11 FedEx Toyota Camry, Joe Gibbs Racing
Finished: 23rd Did you have an experimental engine package this week?
"This is definitely experimental 'All-Star only' racing. We came out here with our guns loaded and unfortunately our gun went off a little bit before the end of the race. It just wasn't enough. We knew this engine wasn't going to go 500 miles. It was built for just a few more laps past 100 and it just didn't make it."KYLE BUSCH, M&M's Toyota Camry, Joe Gibbs Racing
Finished: 24th Was this a special package you ran for the All-Star Race tonight?
"It was going to be our standard package for the 600 next weekend. It's a new package that we've come out with in the recent weeks but for some reason it has broken rocker arms. We'll fix it and get it ready for if not this upcoming week but the next couple weeks."
