Roush Fenway teammate gateway and biffle moved up a spot. Here's another of those routes towards the 99 of Carl Edwards. Point past our pole sitter that's for eleven points can remember Carl Edwards started back in the forty ninth spot this as a backup cars.

What happened in just. She's from right rear damage he's all by himself. Kerry is right up have back over here you -- and the car got loose middle of the corner and spun and spun down off the racetrack. Forcing a -- don't want around hitting the discussion on their great team radio was the taking the two tires. Did not work well for them and there's the result.
But I won't say -- this is a pretty good break for pretty impressed with the way that -- did. The eleven car getting him because he did not hit the last time he was about ten laps from have a -- flag stop. It's DiMarco she just gets loose. Targets around owning -- smokes and stayed in the gasoline back backup to he'll into the wall. Pretty nice job -- hanging onto -- Could buy Cologne but you can keep it out of the walls. Arise out of harm's way. His his right there. I don't go around and he didn't. I think this will even things out as we see the commitment cone out there and grass I'm sure NASCAR will. Put it back in place before we go back -- pit -- open about think you'll see every one take four tires this time. Department and David -- indeed as -- take four tires the car is tight in the center of the corner which they blame the.
Last time around the Jimmie Johnson says that he used car is tight in the center and he's having a -- on -- They've already made an air pressure adjustment down it makes a champion --
No later the only saving care wanna put the -- start this great sports I this time for the -- Crew chief Mike Ford making small adjustments keeping up with this racetrack got me eleven of Denny Hamlin this car -- kicked right in the center.
We'll collision on pit road Jeff Gordon Clint Boyer Joey MacDonald now the leader. Will beat David Gilman Gillen. Start. Earlier Stockton left and you know I'm 49. He decided to stay out here we're pulling out right into the path. Jeff Gordon and Joe in the -- had to go to the rest of us.

Coca-Cola 600 bucks -- sponsored by. Next we understand beauty reliable shipping options. FedEx might go extra Chris prescription for KFC -- trips double credit for big crunchy -- so crunchy so good. And by The Home Depot board saving more doing that's the power of The Home Depot.
but -- always -- lot of currency couple top of the pit box. The back and last time you got nailed it right. This is not better position Jack man -- Staal had a dentist but. Hall of -- Junior Johnson quite an innovator let me show in the tricky tell me. Definitely faster but NASCAR didn't like.
Thanks Jeff down on the nationwide insurance for its own. Got NASCAR passed a rule against slinging that Jack around the front of the car. The free pass 77 Sam hornish. And the wave around us were Bobby -- Bonnie. And also. Travis -- elected the wave around us we go to the restart -- Jimmie Johnson and Ryan Newman the front row.
We had six cars when we just to right side tires include in the front row Jimmie Johnson the 48 random and 39 Steve Burns told -- they want to get that 48.
He -- interstate because it to who has been so strong. Let's see if the 48 Scott anything form once he gets up there. Here comes -- three wide right up the middle. And you notice his team might just sort of faded to the left there. Kurt Busch -- Let's say ladies will be interesting experiment here.
Oh that that's not good. Straight up the middle Kyle Busch rhythm and the bottom double zero -- up top. Man. Kurt Busch was credited. Last -- This one will go to Jimmy Johnson this will be the seventeenth consecutive race. At Charlotte motor speedway that should be there tonight so I can't really afford. I think that public I think. Typically they got him picked up. Seventeen straight race here than Jimmie Johnson has land but Kyle Busch underneath Brian Doolittle -- Barry -- got the left sides in the paint.
Well that's a tough spot right to -- down upon them we'll bring him. And -- lose just like you saw him do.
Lane at your door quarter -- order. Well where you have to be so careful around there because it.
My leg he doesn't hesitate. You don't Kyle -- never hesitate he believes in his spotter Jeff Dickerson when he since you're pretty close to being clear that clear enough for him. But cargo -- Greg Biffle the sixteen. -- Don't report that Denny Hamlin spun his tires. And every -- as the evening goes on we'll see more more then we'll probably have some big mess up here on the front straightaway we have a restore. David rooted in the doubles you know my.
Clint Boyer and tone this is for fourth.
To win last week you know stories and I really helped him get cleaner on his car living in these guys here's. They need to clean -- on their car this could be a log jam your hero because it looks easy for. -- not just. Kind of holding off Martin Truex Greg Biffle and Jeff Gordon. That race team. 43 position that's a backup car Kozlowski in the twelve car and Jake got his -- excited to go to the bright side tires. That last call and had dinner together at point four Carter as his son goes down and it tracts are doing down. He looks like he's coming alive today. And that is exactly what Jeff Gordon predict it was going to happen. When the sun went down. -- that -- to talk about there yeah I'd never heard any radio maybe complaint touted Jeff radio in the car -- little tight. It's hard to be patient when he sees Tony Stewart the fourteen rocket past like you're tied to a stop and here comes McMurray also on the outside. Working for position in the first long green flag run and all of this race Jeff Gordon went for. Now he's holding station in thirteenth position. I don't think his cars they're yet but it's a lot better than it was gifts and I take somebody else -- followed them -- there are points leader Kevin Harvick connect. 29 -- given started in the 23 position sit there. Running in the fifth they are now battling Gordon for that fourteenth spot. This is not -- one of Kevin Harvick better racetrack. Don't practice he says it's his first race track. Look at race -- been so steady this year that's winds are born leader. And god -- weren't -- that maybe you know beating up here for the night -- beat what do you say about it might every week. Mr. word and -- come from he likes that gets hit it that's music brings. That.
And -- and a white lines Kevin Harvick got so many different racetracks he's up bottom dweller in your right --
Statistically it's his worst racetrack only one top five finish. Second --
Could battle back here but second places heating up as well Kyle Busch has all the caught. His older brother. They have trial in this life and cruised to their only half second behind Jimmie Johnson.
Well -- we saw this battle between the Busch Brothers last Saturday night --
I haven't.
Fan -- set up. When the sun goes down well they're there has been Kristen definitely got a river -- last Friday night this young man won the truck greens. For the All-Star race had a shot at winning all stars he came back yesterday and more than nationwide race so he should win tonight. Our call that a clean sweep. This is what big. First Paul Menard and Mark Martin. Moving up on Brad Kozlowski that.
Menard up to sixteen. Martin to 78. The 43. And a lot of changes in the car the last pit stop and they needed to.
Way to lose it. -- bigger pouring rain at work. His way up into the top fifteen before we got into some of those. Pit stops that Dale Earnhardt junior here in the 88 car he's in the 21 position -- not a 44 and -- the end the whole race.
Have you started the race. My car was pretty good that real loose up especially turn -- so when they came -- made some adjustments. And they got tight in the center when he is heavy -- most recently shattering the tires in the center turns one into.
Decided that nine car that won arguably -- I don't know what they did did you know burns. What -- I can tell you what Kasey Kahne -- didn't take retirement alas not. Grabbing his.
Markings in the right front not like. I'm I'm I'm. Now that's funny right there are good at. We put the fun in dysfunctional I did not like they want these two Brothers this battle will not go away and what's amazing thing you're back.
Like fifteen Jimmie Johnson and the 48 hour later is not really pulling away from you can see -- the distance truck there.
on the third play. In game ride your life. The last it's like track.
Powell 71 zip -- bags of rice and -- and it's not very hot inside that cockpit 600 miles here tonight show.
You know Mike could not see these two Brothers Cadillac. -- years ago in the All-Star race in May where they got together -- each other. They quit speaking to each other they got that thinks giving and their grandmother said listen you do -- not messing -- thinks giving up huge we'll work -- The grandmother get a strike back. Americorps better get her on the phone iron and during its five months to Thanksgiving and I know but I think we may have. We may have to have another meeting. This is getting birdie needed. You know what happens here is how we get aggravated -- Because Powell thinks it I've caught you come on do you. Let me go quit racing meet and that's worth the aggravation since then we'll have you ever feel when your brother Preston. You know every time when I was OK with it but not very often but it's. Dependent on what part of the rings is it exactly it.
Meanwhile Jimmie Johnson bruising with a 12 advantage Steve. Funny conversation we played good. --
