12 to go; Matt Kenseth leads as the top 11 have a bit of separation.
Shrub tires to make his bumper a mile wide to prevent anyone from overtaking him for the lead and he spins right after a spin happens behind him. Caution 8.
35 to go and Shrub leads
Restart with 38 to go. Big Busch leads but he’s getting pressured by Casey Mears.
That is the second time a caution light has fallen during the middle of a Cup race.
Junior leads the middle line to the front. Big Busch has a rocketship and it would be pretty cool to see a car that looks like that win at Talladega
If nothing else, the new car is durable. Gotta love Big Busch moving to the lead with that car.
The move that Brad Keselowski just made to block Jeff Burton while the field was three wide was stupid. And of course, as soon as the whole middle row has to check up to avoid a massive wreck, Fox goes to Digger cam which shows us absolutely nothing.
Things start to get a little hairy even though there’s STILL 60 LAPS LEFT.
Apparently these guys feel that it would take a long time to get to the front.
Shrub leads them to the green on lap 128
Caution is out again, and it looks like everyone is heading to pit road.
The lead that Junior has with the push from Burton is absurd.
Hamlin still leads as we hit lap 100
Hamlin still leads as Logano gets shuffled from second to 20something
Caution out for debris I’m sure. About six laps or so from halfway.
And I think that Sam Hornish is still in shock from being in the lead.
Everyone’s behaving well for the most part, but I can’t imagine this is going to last for very long again. Denny Hamlin is leading the lower groove to the front.
Big Busch goes sliding in the same spot that Michael went sliding in.
Looks like he lost it on his own unless he got a little contact from Stremme to go high and then spun.
Holy crap! The whole field is single file.
Junior leads a parade of three Chevys and Logano to pass Shrub to being lap 49
I believe you posted earlier that there is no sound on the TV where you are?
Consider yourself blessed.
Listening to DW congratulate MW on his spectacular spinny driving is painful.
Did he congratulate Michael for staying off the wall?
I can’t say I’m surprised…
(yes, no sound)
