Casey came here leader of changes in the top five just before. It's. -- you lose a total of second. Kyle Busch back to fifth -- sporting news and heard bush. Into the top five. They -- in the -- and coming down eighteen car back pin and just leaving Marcum and it hurt my.

Mike you got to.

You batting the next group they're gonna have to start attacking because of we're getting to that part of the racing Phillips early where he almost anticipate. Maybe won't get in those long runs and I've talked about in the FedEx understand in the race. Steve adding in crew chief. Crew chief for Kyle Busch for a couple of years Knight moved over to count Brothers Kurt Busch for 2000 team.

Coming up on 100 miles and she wants to battle for third. Proportion moving the attorney Jeff Gordon to take third way in the garage Robby Gordon. And I work with the crash damage. Michael McDowell is part of 55 game winning 66 to meet -- beat 87.

Yeah. I think things first things first. Dixon looked fix that little bit pushed me tightness in her first then make calm the looks just like -- real strength left cushion Olson probably fight back snapped at least ten. For -- noticeable. -- Only one of the fastest cars -- run though is that Carl left receive around they're getting hammered them eleven weeks old and it lasts long run -- were seated in in this.

And on the right Jamie Mac. Fourteen Ryan Newman and AJ all the bigger rent a little battles before. 43.

Of that aren't that -- car they didn't -- together for a good part of the race on the bigger. In the bottom of the 43 McMurray our Daytona 500 winner. One car had been -- they're almost like distance dropped the green flag.

And all the bigger makes the pass. -- Champ car open wheel star.

Had a great run in the Daytona 500 but the last two races kind of fell off the map little bits and this is a good run at least early here for him. Anyway that car was. Good get into. I'm wondering Randy made a lot of ground. Once it's very easy and it's really hard. Count on the --

Kind of rests Newman's forward progress of about fourteen position.

We -- got a car that still work down there you know we talk. About the multiple reviews lead three different -- football -- remembering -- in the new car will work down there. Indian Wells did. And you can move forward it's a pretty good race car. I love front here.

Is seven. Christie's about get a miracle.

You know they've just lost a little bit of the handling. Mike on the racetrack they were a little -- for them up -- adjustment and your right now that's. He's not here not here I'm here than it's been all day today just trying to keep up with the changes. And I think there will be.

Thanks -- this all day long sunny inside out just like they were talking while ago.

Stewart started in the back due to an engine change -- up to seven. It would take you. -- when he went to check it out last him at fourteen carving up little battle here between Kurt Busch and it. -- sports Sanders picked up the battle.

You but he immediately they went over their story check the teammate Ryan Newman 37.

Side by side. -- we're just ahead of them.

Unlike before the last round of the.

Before.

Disappeared through his windshield so what.

Thank you and they're telling in the interval between.

And are back there to try to keep your driver enthusiastic and pumped up about his situation. Yeah media's -- can spot series all the eleven car.

It sort of an error. This is again I don't know who won and Danny Hamlin is going -- his teammate Kyle Busch then eighteen going backwards he could. In his to lose spots. Jimmie Johnson battling for ninth and here comes the fifth. Any team Carolina noticed that a lot of races really good.

like -- great.

Right in his favor. That's too fast -- you can pick up a lot of straightaway speed. If you ever -- We in big trouble.

Bobby -- body a six time winner here. And their fighting for a spot inside the top twenty.

But I think we'll really start the season comers and -- this is -- Will bring running we have the last time and they will start to see a lot of guys really lose handily race car. And now it's.

Run like that eleven cars like -- came -- later. Unlike decorate periods as strong home all the with the good stuff there -- ten more laps or so it's pretty back -- okay.

Caution is out for the fourth time today -- free -- turnover -- likely from wins Clint Boyer. Trying to keep from going a lap down to an overnight Kasey Kahne. Got up and in the wall. And then. Gave -- and anxious moment that took away some of his 52 lead the caution flag took away the right. So we are under caution Porter gets a free pass pit road is open and Matt.

The Buckeyes have a long -- Kasey Kahne Kenny Francis told Casey stopped short -- once again because of forty -- and Johnson will produce the in his slight air pressure change on the right front of -- a little tight early in the run game. The important position there adjusting the judging to try to get hit better well.

Of the eleven good on the long run they're winning here back in the right.

tight getting in -- softening dropping air freshener. -- I had and squash that leaves -- on pit -- now where was his brother Kyle while we're away Kyle has made a pit stop under green. And I came back out. Soul like -- take the wave around.

Look at our leader Kasey Kahne and now and Carlyle six spots on that pit stop it just. Things are just congested in the air where he's -- in Jimmie Johnson and I'm 48. When your car record together.

What's the downstairs Chris Myers Jeff Hammond burning T and T Rex.

Thanks Mike Kasey Kahne won in Atlanta over the Labor Day weekend he has dominated here in the last win -- before. -- all the -- back in 88 at Martinsville. As we recap the start of this race today. On the whole Dale Earnhardt junior but has not let a single lap in this race it's Kyle Busch who led 22 laps early. Robby Gordon. Yet another good stuff was electric character but fourth lap the right -- in the cart this coming out. -- seven car up to the outside wall is that he's pretty much done and then David Reagan de Georgia native you know tires going and it's grateful earlier in -- retirees. Yeah buzzer right front since the number six car outside segregated brought Tulsa. Brad Kozlowski gets -- Carl Edwards and -- was polite about it but it caused this mix up with. -- Delgado. And out of the race for the moment for Carl Edwards he's had great success here. We have that as we just saw moments ago more tire problems is that. Pleaded with the desire here in the Atlanta Motor Speedway floors of the way guys are running their cars early it's a combination involving the.

Yes and -- here is got a little more grip. At a gas I think have probably their freshman beginning to -- trying to get more grip here at this particular racetrack as a racetracks for Chris. We're seeing lazy she's because of that as well as sometimes a guy's making contact these tires and not that durable he get in this -- while he can't damage of and I'll -- it. You see -- problems come up front and I we've heard our guys talking about running time running and obviously your card dictates some of them but is there a better one to go -- things people here in Atlanta I'd like to get my car -- on the tops that it's a little easier I think all the tires especially the right side tires in the day -- keep. -- Keep the drop off as far as where the tires that abuse and too much the world said he starts slow down -- gas start of the 32 bracket in a matter of 1015 laps are under 322 laps. That's the drop off -- and I don't know whether you know hit sixty here but not as -- and enough as warm as I think they thought it would be your guest went in about. Fixing a tight condition how is that figuring -- match play you've got to keep working with you gotta work their pressure -- the -- The wage as well as track bar and again if you get your car I think to run around the top of the racetrack we see some gas and I think you're being kind of surprised me tell -- He's -- of the top of the racetrack while Casey came from the bottom of the racetrack just the road opposite where I thought you find these guys. Be sure to cast your vote all season long for the -- fastest pit crew of the year award the standings from last week -- TNT -- where you can. Text the card over for the crew you -- the best cities race. Texans to 225 day. Delivered by AT&T. The nation's fastest three G network. And -- Chris Howard talk about big curves I don't think that the six -- economy and got bigger hat because they have pretty shortstop. Came losing six spots -- three -- and they're Hillary. Let's show it to readers Casey coming and he makes -- stop right.

On the mark. Look in front of him -- Jimmy Johnson starts way back of his box to keep from getting blocked it and get this is what we were talking about this is whether so much and.

We have a good car but your good -- in front of the later. -- Momentum and garden. Now let's pick a lucky compared to Kurt Busch Kurt Busch came in running third goes up leading the race Kasey Kahne comes in late in the race goes down seven. Our -- standard time is based off a 48 stop that we got these numbers you can they just across the board it was just all. Right that get around with a Jack and the left side in just a little bit all the way across the board the difference for Kasey Kahne losing six spots on that pit stop and.

Getting ready to restart -- in 830325. Laps complete. One -- Ukraine -- up the let go for the green.

Tony Stewart and dale. Franzen needle. Comes down right in front of the eleven.

And moves along side Stewart for second place.

That was a nice pants right here since the eleventh -- captain here. Nice pants.

My last run Dale Earnhardt junior said the car started. Tonight when the longer he went -- entering the game didn't get a little lose late in the last running he likes his race car and here comes my.

Stewart. If you don't we talk about did junior won the things that we wanted him to do today you wouldn't think we hope it's. Beyond right. Your candidate and I'm not fall back through the field so far so good. They want cheap keep humor he can see that leader he'll stay after that later.

We -- in the lead. I can't push him to run half a straightaway yeah. Onto this group Earnhardt Montoya Stewart and then. The B Jeff Gordon in fifth men.

And let you talk about tire management a lot of -- saying no way you can anymore here. -- How much do. -- death last month steel -- and we're gonna have to shift the balance a little more toward the free side because there's --

Inside shoulder out of the courts I'm -- right front.

But -- you know back in the day. Here go to Darlington to you would you would you. Tuesday in the the longer we raised more into the race and get the better. We're retired lived -- not think we'll see that today by one of the concerns do you makes news. How much of tires -- in any New -- that he's tired out against humans can't.

I get to -- more on the right front tire. Ryan seventeen.

They have. Had close company all day.

And at the front what happen. Kasey Kahne. Moving ahead of Tony Stewart.

there was.

Hopefully by himself -- It was just the pit stop that got. Came back in the midst of things now he's trying to break out but he's got to get past three more cars to have a chance. To run down the leader.

One thing you gotta really watch if you run that hop lap to get after replacing Walt -- these tires where we'll see more more build them up next to the wall. That's what you -- trouble. Yeah period that's your penalty of hot tires and car will not turn. Did what I like about that 42 car right now we want to run most of this race at the top but it looks like at least don't fresh tires he's not -- about. -- into the bottom you don't ask her you know somebody I'm trying to learn to run bomb.

And I know what has helped him learn to run the bottom. I think he's got a lot more horsepower and that that he's had in the past I just not in his DNA of to -- then -- might stay atop group B field. Parent feels fans. He likes to have things. Jeff Gordon and actually for car he drives -- teammate -- thank. The third -- away from.

Kurt Busch who led to. 134. Laps here last spring.

One point eight seconds of cobalt tools 500.

So so many changes.

Okay.

Shooting and the global commercial then it's interesting stuff. Student Chad scares me up another interesting is that spirit energy music behind Kurt Busch -- Montoya Jeff Gordon Kasey Kahne and Dale Earnhardt. Some new players the top ten Matt Kenseth seventh. Tony Stewart -- Ohman didn't. Well he was ten the second ago Greg Biffle takes a back. The -- go back and think about the last five to ten laps at least two car.

what I -- watching the interval which. Juan -- back here. They're closing down. Good -- about it TNT two and a half collapse. Kurt Busch has some company here.

I do believe the best car that we got now is Geoff were thwarted 44 back in third is looking at our our left camp. Another way to Kasey Kahne got back in the pack he's now running for. But we got back there was on that pit stop posted on Jeff Hammond for today's nationwide to zone. And Mikey -- than that can't you -- captain of the pit -- looks like he's in their liking like the bigger than -- turned on -- little bit erratic Ronnie and you see the 48. -- Right rear of his car he's kind of sticking out. Toward pit road we start to take up he can't really hammered like he wants -- he's got take it easy -- teammate Jeff Gordon didn't hard not to make it is Jeff Gordon's. The -- to Jimmie Johnson also boxing map all of this combined. Top six positions on the pit road you got to get a clear shot you wanna have a really fast -- back. But -- I think -- support for the we're talking about you've got three of the top cars even though there's an opening there you've got Gordon came in Johnson all hit and run in the same period in -- that you stack up -- each other. And you pick your pits in the order which qualified consider picks first JT actually really really good about gonna hit. He -- now. But he's not used to pick and sixteenth position that's what I think heard this week -- a little bit like last week. Three wide here you see the left side of Brett has left his car looks fine right side and not so much he's been in the yeah.

These guys there about a half a -- Our leader right now. You see all the damage. Well on our points leader Kevin Harvick we've been following healed. Pretty much knew -- that gripped this morning that they didn't have a race car they feel very good about. And it really started. -- Guys it's going to be very long David Carr this is super tight. That's -- and -- with the rest of the great so far than any sit there really have the cars look -- guys this is tight. Tiny trees so the balance issues all over the map for Kevin Harvick. Shows on the stop --

Dusty didn't make him and they have definitely improved deck parties -- the 24 spot. An accurate about learning responsibility they have made it better. Keep working and get it here. You know the amazing thing of course we've talked about Richard Childress racing all your loan. And right now you've got Harvick and 23 you've got Clint Boyer in twenty ninth. Jeff Burton seems to be carrying the banner for Richard Childress right now -- in thirteen. The first three races this year they. Acing the par finish outside the top of the eleventh so loved little little bit of work to do today Lily -- ago. Doesn't this never practiced Jeff Burton was best to those three Childress cars in practice. I had in fact wasn't present that they heard -- and set up. Trying to at least get up to that same level. Performance yet yesterday in practice the 33 just finally quick practice they had thrown everything they could throw and it. And they just decided to stop let's put the birdie 17.

The hospital. Literally thank you -- bring -- over Richard. And and dictating the -- also Richard Childress his wife Judy. Mike Dillon is usually okay spot. And his daughter Tina is Richard and Judy's daughter so we'll Mike's gone back -- North Carolina.

Writing clearance dad is spotting for you being the only spot -- practicing helped my. It's -- for the race it looked at all until you know one big fan it's a family affair rescind.

Odd. Sense -- winning -- I heard bush and that somebody. Is JP Montoya looks like get Atlanta -- fan. It stretches out here comes all back together. Sixth place car Dale Earnhardt junior on pit road and you may have believe we'll Steve.

Seniors and I'm not yet not corner my name. Is real and they aren't angry -- here on lap one.

They're gonna put two rounds in the left rear tires.

Like Superman when he gets back out there much -- time. -- away from what with the green flag pit stop. One thing I noticed with a few corollary that these two months we got caught. -- to the back and Kurt Busch looks like Kurt said hey I got a better car than and he has picked it up and now he's beating on Torre about Tampa. And we junior gets up to speed will be two thirds of a lap behind race leaders. A lap in -- there yes yeah so what he's certainly hopes as we at least cycle through those. Green flag pit stops over the next fifteen.

Fourth place. Denny Hamlin Jeff Gordon. For a living -- to -- you.

Like Hamlin -- got Mark Martin. He's just a spot near the front straight late caution isn't I don't left.

Rear tire on Mark Martin coming off turn four -- in hanging on the left side over there. He won't happen yeah he was in seventeenth place. Now dale junior will not be the first car one lap down that will be popular bunny gets a free pass. There's the five. Putting green saying. -- in the seventeenth position. Larry I think we're seeing something here that we talked about the -- need -- carry -- loaded splitting on the left rear axles Cubs don't think we're CNN. Something going on here it's like a common denominator in this is about the second -- same Robby Gordon Roddick started the race. And even though it Mark Martin spins -- on the inside it's. Snowmobile accident get going again. I got to believe what lance McGrew and Dale Earnhardt junior will do not think you'll maybe do the wave around around here since they just hit pit road for four fresh tires. And that will put him at the tail end of the lead lap when we -- faster street. The left side tires -- Goodyear has developed for this year are the reason we're seeing in the east Arsenal fans. It's a news and I don't know how new it is a different design and what we had last year and certainly make -- car's tires got a lot of grip pennant.

They're looking at Wheeler came off dale junior's car that he thought was loose and the one bullet holes do not looking elongated which would be the telltale that however.

And pit road is open heard bush leaves them down match. --

Tire change for Kasey -- getting ready to jump off the wall they're gonna back up the air pressure changed man the last stop -- easy to. During that run. Montoya is -- tenth Reuters.

Another race. Denny Hamlin one of the -- I lose -- an an offense tightening up just demand everywhere around me.

Just aren't good and he's -- just a little -- and didn't smile yeah. Right rear tire for Kurt Busch is.

Bush again wins the race off pit road.

Aren't our leader and LB David Dillon one of two things he wanted five points for leading. -- announcement said you'd think he might wait to the next slam the fifth.

Since they are pitted right in front of that 48 I'd say you're right on both counts Larry. We're under caution for Mark Martin.

Right now bush is on the fast track he's out in front of this field over Juan Montoya. Denny Hamlin Kasey Kahne and Jimmie Johnson. Are the first five for this restart and I cans of Gordon and biffle rude about it and Stewart. Dale Earnhardt junior indeed Larry took the Waverly it's gonna take the weight around here.

So that will put him back on the lead lap this is something NASCAR started last year that if you stay out. We're the pace car picks the leader there's always you don't make a pit stop you keep your weight around the pace car you go all way to the back of the pack. We'll have to go the pace car waves everybody around and then picks up.

The leader. In this case is Kurt Busch and were ready to go racing with the leader in front of the field.

That's when -- that's -- it sound like getting cleaned up from the field you don't have. Somebody up there. The bleachers -- mid pack.

Montoya has not. NN has the lead.

Yeah fans. Movies fast that you were not and now we doesn't all I know is that two car had a pretty good down -- straightaway events. Take his motor -- it's -- all that looks like bad news for you feel good things. Good looks like a replay of last year actually. He's playing here last year. Yelling at 234. Of 325. Laps. Fourth place.

Can't say hello I was surprised. Not to find Kansas name on the list of the drivers who have won in the cup series in Atlanta.

But I'm not surprised to see him up during the top can't talk to talk period his crew chief this morning said -- Kind of fast lap but he said the longer this race goes I think the better we're -- being. He's a wise man showed up just short night. Right here. He's another guy. There into the top TM he had -- We've got here David Bruton and zero. There he's -- almost like they got off after one of the pit stops that he's back in the top team. There's room for improvement set around letting people -- did you sit around and have run a top 1012.

In the top I'm sure. Right behind him Greg Biffle in the sixteen. After hitting the wall and practice and -- and dinner and then leave green color number 43. Has been right with the top ten home thing we talked about Jim Burnett.

Worst finish up Richard Childress. Eleventh place finishes that's exactly where he's running into 31 car eleven.

In the bigger is another who has -- in the bottom. He's okay. Really gets it won't really really well our earlier Dale Earnhardt junior hit -- until.

Swinging Steve wasn't. And Mike -- didn't -- on those tires and thank the good years are easy just going on a stacked right now the tire specialist -- twice run good here check. Dismounted leading. Figure in any.

Maybe like things that happens of these tires again it. Inside yeah outside tired if you get dead air pressure to -- that in Carolina he -- in there and shake his little bit. I'm seeing a lot of -- it looked like they got awfully low air pressure. They -- for some vibration coming for.

Little audio for a pole sitter Dale Earnhardt junior here.

I think Campbell won't hand happy but we'll look ahead to Atlanta and weird happens -- but it affected. Now affirmative wore down Indian well the target field. Brooklyn's. For all the another thread. --

But dare you talk about. And half racetrack with a mile of corners you better believe it's loaded alive here put more pressure entire junior Bobby do anywhere because -- How hard you have to jerk on the wheel all the time and it helped -- yards through the corners.

defense of the worst thing about the Jeff Gordon.

Six players.

Think about Atlanta is you get the front wheels started turning colors he got to rear wheel -- 154. It -- machine straight. Pretty big battle goes on in the race Carl they don't then got teams in the rear end to get the rear tires maybe. Whatever else might be. --

Hard call you all down. Track like this. See Danny Hamlin ran third at eleven car chase down 12. So much faster he wasn't -- miss the here's some good news. -- John Darby. The smaller he's things they may be able to get. He really and they young because it's former. Looks like our opinion. Well might happen. The weekend of rest.

You want to turn this for a -- things people pilots try to fly the planes to rate but. The bank in this after the -- around to the left because of payroll whatever adjustments. -- Pitches up and down --

They're your Toyota top performers led by Denny Hamlin and second.

Ambrose. Was good in practice. You -- right now.

Little battle there between teammates forty talk. Johnson -- of 48 inch putt in the bottom pretty much that's his usual -- GT track like this yeah I don't know that I ever saw the 48 at the Huffington Post practice sessions yesterday and he'll. Six position away from his teammate Jeff Gordon in the morning.
