2012 Federated Auto Parts 400 (Richmond): Juan Pablo Montoya for cutting down Clint Bowyer's tire, forcing Bowyer to pit and refuel one last time, and Bowyer ran a fuel conservation strategy to win the race.
2008 Aaron's 312 (Talladega): Kevin Lepage for entering the track in front of the leaders after exiting the pits.

Thinking some earlier Tours which I remember watching

2001 Spectators @ 2:03
2002 Jakob Piil - dropped his foot from the pedal while starting to sprint for stage win
2003 Joseba Beloki - crashed badly when he seemed on his best, effectively ending his career
2004 Cipollini and Petacchi - no stage wins for two Italian sprinters, both packed up early
2005 First TT by so-called challengers for Armstrong - everyone was minute or so behind in 19 km?

1992 Indianapolis 500: Not Roberto Guerrero (although a close contender), but everyone who has crashed in that race. I mean, by the 102nd lap, they had an equal amount of green and yellow laps! Dishonourable mention goes to the Mears/Crawford/Fittipaldi (Although the latter crashed out on his own) crash.

The biggest reject was Tom Sneva who DNF'd for the 8th consecutive time after his win in 1983 and didn't make it past lap 11.

I believe this loss of victory cost Wirdheim dearly. Now he's in Super GT, I think.

Then CART and Indy Car split and the Al in Little Al stood more for alcoholic than for Alfred and by the time Penske returned to Indianapolis, Helio Castroneves and Gil de Ferran were the drivers.

He also was ROTR in 1986 for a botched restart costing him the Indy 500 win with three laps to go which could have redeemed all the bad from the 1982 race although Poncho Carter and Scott Brayton with their Buick engines failing both by lap 20 was very rejectful. However, the GM stock block engines of the 1980s and 90s were mostly rejectful right from Mike Mosley's 1981 Indy 500 where the Chevy's cooling system expired only 5 laps into the race until the Buick disappeared after the 1996 season.

2010 Indy 500 - Fuel Mileage Gamblers
2011 Indy 500 - J.R. Hildebrand

Let's go through the entire 2012 IndyCar ROTRs...

St. Pete - Lotus

Long Beach - Bourdais
Sao Paolo - ...don't remember this race too well ATM...
Indy - Lotus
Belle Isle - The track
Texas - Graham Rahal
Milwaukee - Dario Franchitti
Iowa - Dario Franchitti's Engine (it blew up on the grid -- and he was on pole)
Toronto - Mike Conway
Edmonton - Charlie Kimball
Mid Ohio - E.J. Viso (one for lack of pace rather than anything else)
Sonoma - Rahal Letterman Racing (Gridded 26th, out on lap 2!)
Baltimore - Ed Carpenter
Fontana - Will Power

He had been actually. I remember he drove a ex-VXR Vauxhall Astra Coupe in 2005 for Team Nuts (how apt) before David Pinkney took their sponsorship to Motorbase. He was rubbish back then too.

Also, he was about to sign for WSR in 2009 but his Britcar accident meant he had to withdraw.

2013 Daytona 500:

1. Joe Gibbs Racing: Having two engines blown within a couple of laps is pretty bad.
2. Tony Stewart: Seemingly anonymous race, which was followed by retirement in the first half of the race.
3. FOX: I know commercial TV runs on...well, commercials, but FOX's coverage was really like: commercial-short update-commercial. And DW's boggity-thingy really sound ridiculous. :x

2000 Queensland 500 - Stone Brothers Racing - HRT may have checkmated the entire field out of the equation by lap 110, but SBR deserve special mention by pitting the Pirtek car just as the SC came in for the final time, while they did a driver change in the Havoline car during the SC WITHOUT checking whether Besnard had done enough laps or not :lol:

Reject of the Race for 2012 Indy 500 is Takuma Sato. Over aggression leads to crashing while fighting for the lead on the last lap.

Hey, Barrichello finished 11th. An F1 veteran better than Sato.
