Newman led for a lap.
JJ now takes the lead.

Lap 77 CAUTION: JJ has a right front tire go down. Slight damage on the right side.

[Lavabe]

ap 80 of 160: KK takes the lead after the pits. JJ is still repairing, but hasn't lost a lap. He has come in at least three times. Amazing! They still haven't restarted, as a LOT of debris came off the tire.

[Lavabe]

67 laps to go: KK powers past Kes for the lead
JJ still holding his position in 28th!
66 laps to go: CAUTION: Stremme right front tire down and into the wall.
Shedding debris all over the track.
SO... with Gilliland's right front down, followed by JJ's, followed by Stremme... this could spell trouble for others as well.
All are coming in to pit.
Most are taking two tires.
Kes, however, takes 4, and falls way down in the field.

50 laps to go: CAUTION: Burton, Kvapil, Patrick, Menard all get into each other with substatial damage to all. All drive to the pits, except Burton. Burton is out of the car. That's it for him today. Kvapil, got Patrick a little loose, forcing Patrick on turn 2 to slide into the wall (and into Burton's way). Truex BARELY slid through on the grass.

By the way, Stenhouse has been racing for 30 laps or so.

OK, I was dead last this week! Hmmm.....what a waste of a Johnson pick for the week!

Do I get bonus points for the most picks ending up in the garage before the race is over? Pleeeaaase!
