Lap 76
Smoke did NOT come into the pits, as he had pitted late on the green, so Smoke has the lead!

On the restart, Hamlin's engine seems to have failed. There's some concern that it may be something that Joe Gibbs racers will have to watch out for (that means Blech and Logano).

Lap 93
Rocket Man with a move!!!
It's:
Blech, Smoke, Newman, JJ, Vickers, MM, Truex, Kenseth, JPM, Bowyer
Hamlin is still racing in 27th. He had an electrical issue. Doesn't look like a major engine issue. Hamlin is on the lead lap.

Lap 114 of 200
5 laps after a debris yellow flag set of pits:
Blech, Smoke, Newman, Vickers, Bowyer, Harvick, Kenseth, JJ, Menard, JPM
Truex is backing up, just like last week.
Kurt Busch running poorly today so far.

75 laps to go:
Blech, Smoke, Newman, Vickers, Harvick, Kenseth, JJ, Bowyer, Menard, Biff, Edwards, JPM
Burton has made up for his earlier speeding penalty.
Hamlin is out of the race. Joe Gibbs has some issues again.

Looks like Marvin is going to vault into the lead. He has 3 in the top 10, with B Driver Kahne his worst performer (20th).

In the C list competition, Menard is cleaning up again, in 9th. David Ragan, the consensus choice, is 21st.

With 65 laps to go, we're getting ready for some green flag pit stops.

aawww, you peeked! lol

Menard has not been as consistent so far this season as I had hoped. Neither has Kahne, but with 56 laps to go, I hope mhy luck holds out. Especially when I FORGOT to pick my drivers this week! lol, by the time I remembered, all I could do is switch the order.

This round of green flag pit stops is done.

Blech, Smoke, Harvick, Vickers, JJ, Newman, Kenseth, Bowyer, Menard, Biff, Edwards, JPM
Blech has clinched leading the most laps in the race.

Note to Marvin: GOt to report wisely.
Usul with another strong week!!

44 laps to go:
They can probably make it on one more pit stop, possibly around lap 28.
Currently, it's:
Blech (6 sec lead), Smoke, Harvick, JJ, Vickers, Kenseth, Newman, Bowyer, Menard, Biff, Edwards, Burton, JPM, Jr, MM, Kahne, Truex, Ragan

Green flag pits took place in laps 34-31. Kenseth came in early, as he's having trouble getting all the gas into his car.
Blech's lead out of the pits is 2.9 secs. Smoke had made up about 3 sec prior to the pits.

CAUTION Lap 28: Lally spinned out. Cassil is the lucky dog.
No one is going into the pits for this one.

Green flag racing again.
23 laps to go:
Blech, Smoke, JJ, Newman, Bowyer, Harvick, Kenseth, Edwards

18 laps to go:
Blech, JJ, Smoke, Newman, Bowyer, Harvick, Kenseth, Edwards, Burton, Kahne, Jr, Biff, JPM

MARVIN IS FLYING HIGH!!!

15 laps to go: CAUTION: Bobby Labonte goes into the wall
Will probably be 10 laps remaining when they restart.
It all depends on who does what in the pits. People are wondering what to do with the tires.
Probably the drivers in 11th - 35th will come into the pits.

Kenseth (8th) leads everyone behind him into the pits.

9 laps to go: green flag racing begins:
Blech, JJ, Smoke, Bowyer, Harvick, Newman, Edwards, Cassil, Kenseth, Burton, Kahne, Vickers, JPM

Is it too late to swap my bench drivers in for my starters?

Man, I suck this year. Big time.

Order of finish:
Harvick, JJ, Blech, Kenseth, Newman, Edwards, Bowyer, Vickers, Kahne, JPM, Biff, Jr, Smoke, Dinger, Burton, Menard, Kurt, JG, Reutimann, MM, Truex, Ragan

unbelieveable, Harvick leads one lap.... the last lap...and takes the checker from JJ & Kyle B in third I think

WIthout a doubt, THE BEST final 3 laps of the year!!
Blech gave way to JJ with 3.5 to go, and Harvick swept around Blech 3/4 lap later as Blech got loose.
In the last lap, Harvick was bump draftiong JJ, then swept wide of him on turn 3 to win it!!

WOW!!

Well done, fellows!!! What a charge at the end!!
