232 laps to go: Menard is scraping his front left tire. It's smoking bad. He's in 27th. He better get that fixed. Bad night for him. He was in 9th early in the race, but caught a speeding penalty in the pits.

Kenseth had the lead, but JG has now taken over.
225 laps to go:
JG, Kenseth, JJ, JamieMac, Kes, Dinger, Edwards, Truex, Blech.

200 laps to go
Childress racing is sucking tonight; Harvick is the best of a bad lot.
Only 15 drivers on the lead lap.

CAUTION
Reutimann turned around by Stremme, crashed in the turn, Hamlin and Menard got dinged good as Hamlin slowed to avoid the crash. Both spun, but somehow saved themselves.
Jr gets the Lucky Dog. Reutimann leaked fluid all the way down pit road. SO... that means lots of laps in yellow before drivers come in to the pits (they have to clean up the fluid).

FWIW, JG had a left front FLAT!! Lucky break for him.

Glad I put Bowyer on the bench. Not glad I got Menard off of it.

140 laps to go,,, CAUTION
MM hit the inside wall, after he slid into Vickers. MM sustained BAD damage.

This would mean that everyone could pit this time, and they could last the rest of the race.
Everyone is coming into the pits.

As they got ready for green flag racing, Kenseth took the lead leaving pit road, followed by JG.
So, it was:

But two laps later, JG takes the lead.

87 laps to go... CAUTION
Blech went between two cars, tagging both, and then he hit the wall on his side. He'll continue. No major problems for him.

Everyone comes in, for new tires.
Newman & Truex took only two tires each, and both move up into the top 5.

Just before the Caution, Labonte got lapped, so Ragan will NOT be the Lucky Dog.
