VW. I see some blues god next time around the.

Yeah. That's yeah it's. Good to me out here in California. Little race.

Let's go racing -- always.

Darryl I think that's exactly what you were told to drive they. Six to run this month for you got that house that the 42 car get up to speed yeah. I'm sure he said he considered himself right now ball well and good but what is the first lap.

I don't know but I think the leader of the first lap. I'm sure we never won this race or not I'm kinda and this I know one thing you'll pay is Bob points -- never left the month point. -- is that many folks in the garage this morning. Pointed at that number 42 car -- as perhaps the Carter beat today no question I think that car's good on the short run I think it's good on the long run a little concern about the one car. -- Hampton for the Rockies got to ask cart's contract the draft and what's.

One thing I did notice from my practice a lot of cars around enough time. Right away a lot of times you just kind of on the bottom and work your way up there a lot of guys are really I'm in a hybrid would be the way to go.

to Larry's point about don't want to market it -- get sent to their car was good for about ten laps then it would slow down. After a wild card would come back around what to.

Jimmy Johnson battling in the middle there's plenty. Track -- to race time here. This track is almost as -- busy interstate ten which runs alongside the speedway. Turn -- tricky you know when you come out there this -- in.

Nice cool day like today may not come into play but documents appear Hamlin in -- and -- that 48 car. The last time. Over and turned to her. In the race it's almost too tight -- the race live there and I think he can't. Got back out of the throttle where he can push the issue right there. That's not the case here in the front straightaway America at one time. Coming off Marie started yesterday's nationwide race they were six of Ross and I don't mean below the white line he's 61. Great thing about this two and two mile racetrack with a guy I don't feel like this -- we have here this week. It's gonna make for better racing -- are gonna handle better they're going to be -- got better all day long. Harvick to the -- McMurray Harvick 29. Four and getting third place for the moment. Do you see that outside and I know how much speed you carry off that corner. And it par lays into a good long class front straightaway here for you.

Kyle Busch and Mark Martin and two. When your top ten.

What rappel down the back near the one forward. Kevin Harvick gave him a little shocked sitting into the corner no harm no foul. Think this will be a -- than they did when we look at it run your Mark Martin found offense didn't practice all of the practice sessions. Like right there. We wouldn't qualify Friday.

Johnson and McMurray now for fourth place and Mark Martin joins that battle in the fire. You know it that one -- not it's not right Britney Spears did this year looks like he's a little too free have a run.

You know these guys they. Racetrack their team we think it's right what we practice yesterday we had the Nationwide Series race -- rain tomorrow. I watch the -- off so it probably -- it a little different feel for what they haven't practiced.

Yeah I really it poured down here last night he really wants to track down that's for some of the water was coming from earlier but. Got a great job -- and I learned. From the race here. A year so go window we have those sweepers they've learned cut them. Slots in a racetrack at the water runs down the track and Donald Hoffman.

Six laps complete caution free. -- Out front he'd -- 78 laps here last October and finished third.

Well there's no question it and he is boys. To win some super speedway races cars too good not to be able to win some ever -- renowned. He had a shot to death toll on Friday he lost -- lane -- turn four talk his crew chief rob paddy in one came in the Roger after qualified said. I remember what I did qualified in the fall -- slapped the wall first well I decided to roll out there.

Perfect third Johnson fourth. -- off to turn over three pair of tickets for ride with Kasey Kahne in second place.

Kasey Kahne Scott -- white car here in honor of the Olympics that are going on. And you can see down the straight away pretty relaxed. Nice and smooth not much you can probably go much for years for goodness picks up 205 into turn one. Car looks like he's got a nice tell he's got a nice talk on the wheel cars -- moving around jump around that's what you want. This is a good way to start today off right here car's handling good season looking back see we're. Who I'm getting hard drive off. -- forward drive and -- Run in the bottom nice and smooth not having to fight the car when you see in our oldest dating we don't like dead. Happened June 12. That's not a usual. But -- car handling good excuse.

Brian Vickers in the 83 running twelfth starting. 23.

Do you not think this is one of the cars out returned to at the top of the show one of the comers and goers he had a fast race car practices car -- just a little to lose. He's just about to crack the top TN. There and I had the pleasure of sitting at the end of the table have a dinner with him that the body was very late for dinner reason. He had this to the local Children's Hospital -- a lot of these guys do her regular basis.

Did you know Jimmy Johnson started his racing career off road in a Chevy truck. That's why he's excited to keep your chance. To win a Chevy Silverado go to win the -- Silverado dot com.

You know what I like you know what I'm -- no we talked about this at the top of the show we've run fifteen laps in the give up. In this run without a caution is about a second half the second in the record that's a good thing that that makes good racing there. But the car slowed down a little bit.

Jeff Gordon had to do with the hard way and climbed through the field for 28 he's halfway to the front. Running at fourteen you just know you just know that when you get to this racetrack this is like -- home track. He's not gonna stay -- the back very long if you -- captain Carter were near Wright Darrell look at it though he's he's down there that make a little more grip down there. -- that flight line lot of guys like to run down near Matt.

The car got tight.

It's -- part of rotate it. Pretty -- Sam hornish. And they will battle for the thirteenth position here Tony Stewart. -- slow and I don't he may have scraped the wall at turn four there. Let's have a look at what's for the fourteen.

He is right there in Texas there -- to do about it chances scoring. These cars are pretty. Pretty tough opponent right side but the resilient they they have struggled with -- Carl what you alone a lot like it did in the Daytona 500. Fourth place race.

Yesterday's winner Kyle -- against Kevin Harvick Steve.

Like they're running side by side and Barry.

Kevin Harvick said his car has gone from a little listen to. Lives I need help getting on the corner -- saying his car is tight in the center and tight ball.

Is it we stayed green -- get well into this run we're burns the fuel -- golf that you gain a lot of no wait that. Little League tightened the car out of your tonight now it's probably only gonna get to fight yeah. This has more from wait for the front tire which might slide away. So it it won't -- like the car.

And Jamie -- started on holy snap dropped back to even -- Kurt Busch right behind in the twelfth.

Has also have a long week but don't dont forget after winning the 500. It Daytona last week Jamie Mack ran out -- the top -- for a lot of today. And they got it right when it counted so. Other fall back a little bit right now but I think they can make some good adjustments in getting back after Steve.

Phone calls and text me.

It would concern me about you know good trapping carbon not have the speed. It is how much Grail you lose in the beginning in what your tires start to go away. You've lost that great and it's hard to make it back up.

We'll show you that interval which has shrunk to since moved to break. -- Every other leverage so Jimmie picked up a couple of cancel one another in the same picture.

Outside the top ten Jeff Gordon Kurt Busch Ryan Newman. Martin Truex. Junior -- and Carl Edwards. Sixteen Steve.

He's saying --

What he told us in the pre race that Bob Osborne changed everything only -- race cards and only thing that's about the same as the same -- here and we --

Real man who pulled my god. -- right there.

There's RI AFLAC and do you know -- Trivia question. Carl Edwards broke his foot last year playing frisbee how quickly -- Text your answer ABC your season 36 beating me. And it would replica helmet autographed by Carl foxsports.com. Slash half black racing has the rules and details.

You know -- Mike I didn't think Goodyear came here get a tire kids back in November. And one of the things that they were testing you're trying to fix was -- claim complain about their cars and racing would get loose. Already and they make adjustments and -- to compensate for that already. -- a lot of guys complain about loose and I'm surprised goes -- have been adjusted is supposedly help that situation. That you know we have sun on the racetrack maybe for the first time this weekend it was very cloudy and overcast Friday and actually yesterday. I think the vortex theory is absolutely -- Unequivocally undoubtedly important. Can you explain the vortex theory you are storm's director Kirk no I'm -- I'm afraid people. You know I don't know it I don't know him well enough this year that's secret information -- Mark Truex up to fourteen. He started twentieth positions further back than that Kristen.

I can I talk to him like -- As great line. Talking about a lot today we are moving to the front.

what we've been watching me every since they put this card race -- yesterday he'd been running around there. Against the wall he was -- the first car didn't practice yesterday -- The guy he had to sit kicking up a lot of just when he was out here but you've only got out -- on the racetrack. He might be trying to dust off today.

check has taken his car in the garage. The 87 sponsor list this week so they're on the start and park agenda. Coming for the lead is Jimmie Johnson the when Paula Montoya has surrendered what was at three and a half second advantage.

Well Montoya has been losing two and three tenths a lap here recently and had Jimmy whenever he's up there and then he's gonna get behind in the dressing down from but I think you Dominic your current ones. And -- talked about it the pre race -- though it's early in this race but you know you always like to leave Daytona -- momentum but obviously it has not slowed down. 48 car down the last four. Here's looking like this year -- Various cities finishes at Daytona last four years have been terrible outside the top twenty captain and but he comes here and recovers it goes wrong.

for Montoya. To -- Johnson. It's like to take the lead this time but this is just the sixth time in Montoya is NASCAR career that you've led the twentieth consecutive laps of the race. He had three of those four. Three in and for those races and finished third. And he left that India it was sort of got a victory lane race for months --

Reminds Wetteland went so far really. Brush the -- tabloid fodder to --

He felt he did not leave the laugh at Daytona. And a number of cars have brushed the wall I think the 24 to fourteen. A number of guys that got up there and scraped the wall but. Overall I think it's heartfelt and everything.

Another what is going to the front as Brian Vickers there in the 83. Vickers passes Kasey Kahne for six -- for 5347. Vickers started way back in 23 and now he is up to sixth place. 35 green flag laps completed were still far from the Czech Republic so for the -- runner who you know -- Trivia question. Carl Edwards AFLAC claim was -- in just four days the correct answer was being. All the rules and you can win fox sports on com slash half black race. Jimmie Johnson your leader Kevin Harvick is second less than a second behind. Clint Boyer -- Carter and got some cars coming on pit road here for a first round of pit stops. David Reagan Greg Biffle on pit road that's a photo -- right here. Meanwhile Boris Said. Has taken his car to the garage and hasn't Eric -- role in the 09.

In this is a few laps early for these pit stops but didn't give up this so much as we say AJ all the bigger and Elliott Sadler -- They give up -- so much you wanna hit pit road. What's car start -- You better the only area now we're seeing Montoya and at 42 car on pit road LA we've hit about two and a half seconds of drop off on this runs so. Not only improve 42 coming Jamie --

Brian -- and Jimmy Kimmel what did the 42. Out of gas man rotates around the -- Tried to free up. --

Kasey Kahne Carl Edwards Dale Earnhardt junior Regan Smith -- and so was Tony Stewart. And -- comes Jimmie Johnson Kevin Harvick. Clint Boyer. Kristen.

Little -- turn the corner but it's tight everywhere else that's what I'm doing just that. Clark sports -- for the 48 Steve.

Kevin Harvick says that his car had gotten loose to loose to run on the bottom where -- Their tires and -- track bar adjustment.

It's hard not bad in the sun though which isn't to -- president exit.

AOL as well they made an air pressure change.

Not pitted. At the front of the field park Truex junior Kurt Busch Mike bliss Denny Hamlin. They played him Michael McDowell suitors kickers in the pit lane. And Truex. --

Martin Truex said he -- hasn't even more than we have he's he's tight when he pulls up this online -- finally by.

The -- for the.

Get this. Cycle of pit stops it will go away but college you can't afford to stay out there were -- one run and two and a half seconds quicker than -- put fresh tires them.

So still on track -- Michael McDowell and max Pappas. Have not yet made their pit stops.

Believe he scored as the leader. They wanna -- commission could talk about a little bit home track -- good. -- at 44 car he's been he's not wasting any time. Yeah he's got a crack the top TN once we cycled through the fact he's already cracked the top of the latest -- this was the last time -- out of turn four. Robby Gordon Eric and his teammate Perez and that Jeff Burton opponent outside. -- Gordon said. I'm going to the front boy -- hopefully that and let's remind you that white line at the bottom of the track is not the same as this double yellow line at Daytona and Talladega. There is no out of bounds at California Speedway. It would -- all shakes out he's gonna be up there back in the top six. Here's your leader Dave lady had a great qualifying run. Michael McDowell comes to the pit road again. Doing the garage as he is another sponsored car. The forty. -- in the event and double these cars come out of the same shop mcdonalds and blaming us you know what send Mike is obviously it is a great -- great driver and a good team. They had some sponsorship Bonecardi. Party -- get the legal more races complaining can give it up and coming here junior qualified fifth. Him -- a lot of great race today. He is about two seconds ahead of Jimmie Johnson. Kevin Harvick and Clint Boyer all of whom have fresh tires. And -- probably -- up you're pretty quickly and a lot of sponsors are probably sent home guys that don't watch it -- I can't afford to be in NASCAR. Folks giving got the call you'd be surprised what you can afford it they'll accept they'll make a little bit go along way village just. Prism motor sports Phil Parsons Randy hopefully.

The Phillies put that car on track. -- tend to run the full season with the.

They give some assistance from from Michael Waltrip racing a little bit. He'll have to come to pit road here shortly because of -- out of fuel.

No longer the leader is Jimmy Johnson. -- passed on the outside. Blue Chevrolet.

I think we talked about given every race Kevin Harvick and 129 AMR's looking awfully good today.

Here comes. Burton.

Against Jeff Gordon break points. Tied it GF they just pass JF. A few laps ago Jeff Gordon and Jeff Burton. And apparently Jeff got loose -- that time and differ with him get back around before they say a --

The balance definitely.

We were talking about Martin Truex and how. Running that highlight an old folks at home probably say if that's so great why didn't everybody. Let me show you one thing. The risk the burden your --

Texas Clinton. Pretty hard he's slowed way way down he's gonna try to stop.

You Raptors you can see the dust fly them. You know you carry so much speed day.

Well our pretty good shape here. Just lunges after bail out wall sounds like they may stay out if there's no tire rubbing one out soft spoken. Yet.

About time that I lineups and they took everything they told him to stay up high.

Now he's in the fifth -- position. About a half a -- the leader Jimmie Johnson in the 48 but here's the guy that's come and nobody Kevin Harvick and that 49 car.

Par -- coming -- the -- the car in my opinion apiece last week at Daytona got children around there on the green white checkered. But Manny back it up again today this. This shoulders much he's got my attention I love the job herald Harvick started six is now running second half a second. Behind leader Jimmie Johnson.

Kasey Kahne. Last time -- in turn one and two. Into the wall.

It's a little -- happy here yeah. I don't think -- anybody and he hit just was up just a slight row. Versus. Probably 70% of the cars right now we're running. Either -- up against the wall or not more than -- from it yeah it is. It's a good way to get off return to because as I've said about that sealer and the crack she could see them start streaks in the track. Off -- turn -- there just seems to be an abundance of that zero there either got to run below what -- Most guys who choose to run above it.

You know you heard Chris to just talk about the nine cart Kasey Kahne and that's what you have to be so careful is. Is making sure that -- not adjusting to a 50% -- don't jump the the fans but you're just put. On the next set of tires to. It's like walking a --

you snap and lose now and it's that that's gotta be achieved big trouble you've got to turn it lefty got left. You gotta turn left you're around -- coronation -- and we -- all of a sudden -- back you know snap out and maybe got to be quick to -- well that was one -- have. He's at the free race you wanna keep your car turning but he can't be lose snappy leaps past.

Our observers having a look at the exit of turn to perform. Might benefit of debris. On the racetrack they're checking to see that it's out of the groove and and out of harm's way. For their track is clear so 52 laps we continue under green for depicts a crowd right here very Micah. Marcos Ambrose and I'm 47 car just one lap down to our leaders.

Well the -- setting if you're a little bit off without the aid of caution flags to get cute pit road make adjustments but it doesn't make your life miserable.

Ambrose last -- of 4212. Leader Jimmie Johnson is half a second faster. That's quite a difference. Kevin Harvick started third and I currently runs in the third match.

Won't help you.

Good -- still.

Where reading the other yellow -- yeah joked about that earlier he and Kevin Harvick. Are not that for a -- second and third.
