Blech WINS!!
Soon after Blech came back on the track down one lap after that inopportune pitstop, he started gaining track position because of his new tires. After he passed the leaders, a yellow came out, forcing everyone else into the pits. That moved him to the lead. He never looked back.

Order of finish:
Blech, Kes, Harvick, Logano, Jr, Kenseth, Edwards, Dillon, JG, KuBu
Newman, Truex, Dinger, Hamlin, AA, Mears, Stenhouse, Ragan, KK, Smoke
Gilliland, JJ, Blaney, Patrick, Menard, JMac, Biff, Whitt, Hornish, Cassill
Larson, Bayne, Moffitt, Bowyer, DiBenedetto, Annett, MacDonald, Hill, White, Allgaier
Burton, Bowman, Yeley

The following led laps: Dinger, JG, Edwards, Logano, Harvick, Blech, Kes (led the most laps)

Although they have been racing the Brickyard for some time, NASCAR has made a little change in the amount of drag on the cars: http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/na ... /30431687/

Most folks come into the pits. Harvick and first five do not. Smoke had just pitted with Harvick a few laps earlier; he leads race out of the pits, as he only needed two tires. Good move on his part.

53 laps to go: CAUTION: AA spins around and hits inside wall. Rear damage and splitter damage.
Top 6 stay out, 90% of the rest come into the pits, including Smoke, who just came in before. He did a 4-tire stop, but most others do TWO.
The top 6 are committed to a pit strategy in which they come in only one more time, around 32 laps to go.
