Lap 86 — The top five are Matt Kenseth, Jimmie Johnson, Tony Stewart, Greg Biffle and Kevin Harvick.

Lap 85 — Now, JJ is going after Matt Kenseth for the lead.

Lap 82 — Jimmie Johnson grabs second place from Kevin Harvick.

Lap 81 — Dale Earnhardt Jr. has not been able to move up from 16th place. At one point, he was three wide with Paul Menard and A.J. Allmendinger.

Lap 79 — Jimmie Johnson is all over Kevin Harvick, working him for second place.

Lap 78 — GREEN FLAG: Kevin Harvick, Matt Kenseth, Greg Biffle, Jimmie Johnson and Tony Stewart are the leaders. Dale Earnhardt Jr. took four tires on the stop, and that puts him 16th in the running order on the restart.

Kenseth gets the nose of his Ford out front coming through Turns 1 and 2, and takes the lead on the backstretch.

Lap 76 — David Ragan drops onto pit road.

Lap 74 — The leaders are on pit road. David Ragan stays on the track.

Lap 73 — YELLOW FLAG NO. 2: David Reutimann spins while trying to get onto pit road.

Lap 71 — Each of the first five or six cars are separated by at least a few tenths of a second.

Lap 68 — Dale Earnhardt Jr. — remember him? — has a lead of about 1.8 seconds over Matt Kenseth.

Lap 66 — Matt Kenseth has taken over second place from Kevin Harvick.

Lap 64 — Tony Stewart has lost several more spots. He’s now down to fifth place, but as he pulls up to the rear of Greg Biffle’s car, the debris finally blows off.

Lap 61 — Tony Stewart gives second place back to Kevin Harvick, hoping to blow some debris off the nose of his car.

Lap 59 — Kevin Harvick goes wide in Turn 4, allowing Tony Stewart to make the pass for second place.

Lap 57 — Tony Stewart now has second-place Kevin Harvick in his sights. Stewart dominated here last year, but lost after a miscue in the pits.

Lap 53 — This is s great battle between Matt Kenseth and Tony Stewart. Kenseth makes the pass on the backstretch, but Stewart grabs the spot right back in the next corner.

Lap 52 — Tony Stewart takes third place from Matt Kenseth.

Here is a rare rare one. All four of my starting team have led a lap. Maybe my 15 spot team could move up.

Lap 107 — There’s at least a second or so between each of the first five cars.

Lap 105 — Carl Edwards, running 10th, says that his car is very loose and wants to pit as soon as possible within the next fuel window.

Lap 100 — Matt Kenseth has backed off to the point that he’s now about seven-tenths of a second behind new leader Jimmie Johnson.

Lap 98 — Jimmie Johnson is finally able to make a pass on Matt Kenseth for the lead.

Lap 96 — This time ... nope. Jimmie Johnson still can’t wrestle the lead away from Matt Kenseth.

Lap 94 — It looks like Matt Kenseth is better on the straights, with Jimmie Johnson a little quicker in the turns.

Lap 92 — Jimmie Johnson is still stalking Matt Kenseth, going very low in the turns to figure out a way past.
