Green flag pit stops are beginning, Jamie McMurray is first to blink.

Kasey Kahne to pit road, Denny Hamlin to the lead on lap 128.

 

[DipStick]

Denny Hamlin pits, Kevin Harvick to the lead.

Kevin Harvick pits, and everything cycles through. Kasey Kahne back to the lead.

 

[DipStick]

Battle for the lead, Hamlin all over the back of Kasey Kahne.

142 of 200: Caution flag is out. David Ragan scraped the wall.

So, all the talk going on about fuel mileage and pit strategy ... just went out the window.

 

[DipStick]

OK, that was definently a "Save Jimmie" caution. Ragan got no damage from the impact, and continued driving like nothing happened when he scraped the wall.

 

[DipStick]

Mark Martin, Brian Vickers, Jeff Burton and Sam Hornish stayed out. Mark leads a lap and collects 5 bonus points. That is so critical for him, he is right on the edge of the window looking outside of the Chase.

Juan Pablo's got balls of steel man, going three wide in the middle in the tunnel turn and turn 3.

 

[DipStick]

Caution is out, Robby Gordon the cause. Robby's pissed at someone, and I'm sure he'll let us know who.

Caution is out, Robby Gordon the cause. Robby's pissed at someone, and I'm sure he'll let us know who.

Survey says, 12 car of Stremee. And Robby has promised payback.

Lap 154, Kurt Busch to the lead.

ESPN sucks.

Caution lap 157. ESPN at commercial after 3 laps of green flag racing.

 

[DipStick]

Stremee wrecked Robby again

 

[DipStick]

5 lap penalty for Robby Gordon for "attempting to be too aggressive", 5 lap penalty for Stremee for "aggressive driving".

Come on NASCAR.

 

[DipStick]

ESPN throws flag on Robby's penalty. Skurt leads, restart lap 161, here comes Flipper.

 

[DipStick]

NASCAR says Robby ran in to Stremee under caution and that's the cause for the penalty. ESPN says they don't have it on video (mind you, they have 72+ cameras).

You be the judge.

 

[DipStick]

Caution is out lap 166, debris.
