Lap 153: Juan Pablo Montoya and Jamie McMurray are battling for 15th. Last week they crashed together, so it'll be interesting to see how it works out between these two.

A weird situation - Matt Kenseth was in line to get the lucky dog, but Robby Gordon had just gotten lapped right before he spun out, but because he caused the caution nobody gets the free pass. About half the field pits under caution, but not the leaders.
 

CAUTION 3 - LAP 71-75: Kyle Busch and Scott Speed wreck. Busch got loose all by himself coming into Turn 3 and collected Speed. Speed's rear end is damaged, but Busch's car is only slightly damaged.

CAUTION 2 - LAP 42-47: As expected, a competition caution has been thrown. Although this caution was intended to allow teams to check tire wear, stopping is optional. Michael Waltrip gets the lucky dog and will get back on the lead lap. Almost the entire field comes down pit road. Dave Blaney is one of four drivers to stay out during the caution and he will get credit for leading a lap. Blaney pits, allowing Scott Speed to stay out an extra lap and get five bonus points for leading a lap. Speed actually stays out for the restart
 

CAUTION 1 - LAP 22-26: Michael Waltrip made contact with David Stremme then spun out in Turn 4 to bring out the first caution. He makes light contact with the wall.

Jeff Gordon up front early here.
