Lap 34 — Joey Logano, who won the Nationwide race Friday night, is running 17th.
Lap 32 — The front of the field is spaced out, as there’s more than a second between Kasey Kahne in third and Kyle Busch in fourth.
Lap 30 — Kurt Busch has gained two more spots and is up to 15th.
Lap 29 — Danica Patrick has gone a lap down, and is still struggling to get as close to the wall as her spotter would like.
Lap 28 — Jeff Gordon has climbed up to ninth and is closing on Ryan Newman.
Lap 26 — Jimmie Johnson keeps drawing up closer to Greg Biffle, but then falling back a little. Biffle’s got to have his eyes on the rear-view mirror.
Lap 25 — Denny Hamlin is up to seventh. He’s had plenty of success at Darlington in the past.
Lap 23 — Regan Smith got the first stripe of the night. Congratulations, Regan!
Lap 21 — Brad Keselowski is running 13th, one spot ahead of Matt Kenseth.
Lap 20 — Danica Patrick has made up four spots and is running 34th.
Lap 19 — Regan Smith, who won here last year, is holding strong in ninth. That means he’s neither gained nor lost a spot in 19 laps.
Lap 17 — Tony Stewart is knocking on the door of the top 10, running 11th after starting 17th.
Lap 16 — Kurt Busch has picked up eight spots and is up to 17th.
Lap 15 — Greg Biffle has extended his lead back to nearly a second on Jimmie Johnson after getting quite a scare a few laps ago.
Lap 13 — Martin Truex Jr. and Carl Edwards have also gotten past Ryan Newman, who is now down to seventh.
Lap 12 — Kurt Busch is continuing his mad dash toward the front of the field.
Lap 11 — Jeff Gordon is running 10th, putting three Hendrick Motorsports cars in the top 10.
Lap 10 — Never mind on that note, as well. Kyle Busch passes Ryan Newman for a spot in the top five.
Lap 8 — Matt Kenseth is moving forward. The top seven is unchanged from the start, however.
Lap 7 — Remember two laps ago when Greg Biffle was up a half-second on Jimmie Johnson? Not so much.
Lap 6 — Tony Stewart is up to 13th after starting 17th. He’s one spot behind AJ Allmendinger.
Lap 5 — Greg Biffle leads by almost a half second over Jimmie Johnson, then it’s another half-second back to Kasey Kahne.
Lap 3 — These drivers don’t seem to be having much trouble passing, though spots are easier to come by early in the race.
Lap 43 — Jimmie Johnson takes the lead from Greg Biffle for a split second, but not at the start/finish line so Biffle has still led every lap.
Lap 42 — Jeff Gordon has gotten into the wall pretty hard and has some damage to the right side.
Lap 41 — The top 10 has stayed pretty static for the last little bit, but Matt Kenseth has gotten past Brad Keselowski for the 13th spot.

Lap 37 — Greg Biffle has led all the laps, and just forced his way past David Reutimann.
