Let's have a look at felt last around the green flag pit stops learned. Again this two laps including -- in the pit road and the pit stop just like the last time top bush and his crew the eighteenth. Quicker than anyone you see the comparison here to Greg Biffle the sixteen. Now Kyle Busch's pit crew with a half a second quicker but you can see the difference is the second and a half. See here's the difference of the actual pit stop between the two roughly half a second. Problem is the way things are going he's probably one drop and I hope the things they bring heat makes it somewhat frail. Getting -- and off pit road under green and they've made some nice adjustments on the car and he has the quickest car one of the quickest cardinal racetrack a look at his progression through the field. Prior to this pit stop. He was ten seconds behind Greg Biffle. At this moment he's four point four seconds back so a big game. On that last round of stops and knows you know -- and say -- you city with the fans are now that you said he wouldn't but that's what that that's how it goes it gives him close.

And Martin Truex. -- and this Toyota. Back in the shade on the front straightaway. Debris high and turn over three wood just in the first caution period. Of this year's Coca-Cola 600 after 112. Laps. Well let's see what they'll do with just forty laps on those tires back. MI Picard is dominated much their race Greg Biffle no changes in the last start right now he met he should debating. Whether to make any change at all the debate still goes on we'll see and make that stop -- Kasey Kahne still talking about his race car being a little bit tight that is his biggest issue right now.

And here comes the bit up holding third for the moment. You know right now I think that -- three guys leading this race are probably three of the hardest Chargers. In the field tonight. These guys they go hard from the drop of the green to the checkered. Johnson and -- What his soon to be an 85 are playing for the front spot. Think Greg Biffle the sixteen running back your third he started to move up the racetrack a little bit Sidney can work. The guy that I think if you sit there watch. We're getting more it's running fifth slam crown. Sat in the catbird seat out. Again what a joke or -- You don't care about being. As the years when it's over not right now. What McMurray almost got run with the ball. Very calamity cornerbacks return. I -- Larry this is a different strategy we debuted last week but we're having you -- to get to the front last week it.

Way too free at the beginning of this drug and they got right. Greg Biffle has now led more laps this season. Then he did all of last year. -- cola 600. Not at your best for. Prior to the caution we saw them. See I'm not sure that caution was coming out I'm not sure if maybe. Boyer -- slowed up and all the bigger and a 22 -- got into the back of him almost took him out. We don't race to the start finish line when the flag comes out. NASCAR measures each car's position at the last of their scoring loops of various places around the track that they crossed and that will determine. The running order under the caution. Lucky break for McMurray -- city and snaps and got a problem very great opportunity for him and just as bigger break for Tony Stewart who was the first car one lap down against the -- Fans of what did you hear you say Mike on the Phillies radio our boys I know we're not good but I'm not gonna give up what he went Tony Stewart says he's not gonna give up -- Good things happen.
