Bowyer (big damage), Ambrose, Kvapil (out of car... that car is out of it), Stenhouse, Logano, JMac, MM, Burton, Truex (in garage), Vickers, KK... Jr (minor damage). Almost all of these have to have some body work.
Edwards gets the Lucky Dog.

[Lavabe]

Lap 245 of 500: CAUTION
Edwards' left rear tire goes down, and he spins... NO damage, except for the tire that Labonte cut.
MM comes into the pits... DISASTER... pulls out while left front is not on, then completes the pit stop OUTSIDE THE PIT BOX... which means he has to sit out a lap.

215 Laps to go: CAUTION: Truex spins around... This time he's out for the day
Lots of drivers (11) take the wavearound, including Danica and Smith.

On the restart, Kes bumped Kenseth, and buckled Kes's hood. Watch Kes lose a spot or two.

[Lavabe]

207 laps to go: Caution: Gilliland tags KuBu, who spins around.

All those who took the wavearound are now on the lead lap... and are getting to go to the pits.
