Several cautions earlier because of loose cans on the road. Just coming off a caution for Jamie Mac, blowing some important part, causing him to spill fluid all over the course.

187 of 400 laps done
Restart, but Mears got banged in from Cassil, bringing out another caution
Kenseth, Ambrose, Hamlin, Edwards, JPM, Dinger, Menard is the running order.
JJ not having a good day. Bowyer getting a lot of work done in the yellows.

Kahne WAY out in front, but needs to pit one more time than most.
Followed by: Biffle, Harvick, Jr.
Don't look now, but Ragan is 6th, followed by Bowyer.
Biffle had AC problems earlier. Bowyer had all sorts of mechanical issues, but has wiggled his way up to 7th.

Loads of problems with fuel economy. Harvick cut off his car, with Menard and Burton pushing.
Biff comes in as well.
Green - white- checker starting order will be:
Kahne, Jr, Hamlin, Kes, Harvick, Burton, Kurt, Edwards, Smoke, Ragan, Bowyer

Let me see if I got this right...
The green flag was waved, and Kahne (at the pole) ran out of fuel, causing Kes, Edwards & Burton to bump into him, causing about 8 cars to swerve all over the place. Edwards continued, but Kes and Burton were essentially gone, as was JGordon.
Ragan and Logano went RIGHT THROUGH THE MESS and shot up to the 3rd and 4th spots. How on EARTH Smith did it is beyond me.
Meanwhile, JR was FLYING, taking the white flag, and CREAMING the field.
As JR comes into turn four, he runs out of fuel, leaving it for Harvick.
Harvick, Ragan, Logano, Kurt, Dinger, Ambrose, Jr, Smith, Reutimann, Hamlin, Stenhouse, JPM, Biff, Kenseth, Bowyer, Edwards, Smoke, Vickers, Kes, JGordon, Burton, Kahne, Mears, Labonte, Kvapil, Blaney, JJ, Menard

First the Indy, then this.
WOW!!

Well, I DID pull off this week's win. The standings in Fantasy League didn't change, but I've at least caught up to the fight for second with Ymo and Usul. Marvin still holds the overall lead, but his lead has suddenly gotten a little tighter, with Ymo making steady progress. Meanwhile, Tilly is in a battle with colchar.

On to Kansas City!!

I watched to the end last night. It helped that the Reds game was also on and keeping me up. I just now realized they have things organized as spring, summer, and playoffs. I wonder how that impacts the league setup.

Loved reading your lap updates! (More like a blog). I was flipping channels last night, between a movie and the race . Unbelievable! TO PIT or NOT 2 PIT, is always a big decision! For JR to run out of fuel in the 4th turn is really UnBelievable. Bummer, actually.

Happy Memorial Day!!! **==

Ymo: I am seriously considering going to the Brickyard 400. It's WAY less expensive to go to compared with the Kentucky race. A lot depends on ILJ. Are you going to be around for the Brickyard, or will you be away from town on business or vacation?

I hope so. I much prefer the Lavabe play-by-play of races to watching them myself.
