Lap 3 — The front is still single file, but Jeff Gordon is trying to lead out a charge on the outside.

Lap 2 — The first five cars are now single file, led by Tony Stewart.

Lap 1 — GREEN FLAG: The race gets under way at 1:51 p.m. ET. Jeff Gordon is clear of the rest of the field through Turns 1 and 2, but he’s passed on the backstretch by the tandem of Marcos Ambrose and Aric Almirola. Then, through the trioval, Tony Stewart and Matt Kenseth get the advantage.

1:50 p.m. ET — David Gilliland and Travis Kvapil will start from the rear of the field due to unapproved adjustments.

I have chainsaw duty during cautions. Walkman tuned to ESPN radio so I know when to come inside. Chainsaw in one hand, beer in the other hand. Lots of pine beetle kill.
