Race Notes
On lap #1 the field was three wide exiting the first set of turns. In turn #3 Logano got into the back bumper of Jimmie Johnson and the 48 went back to 6th place.
Kurt Busch started in 8th but because of how the opening of the race played out he was up to third early in the event.
Jeff Gordon passed Hamlin for the lead on lap 19. His car was good over long runs. It’s what his crew worked on during practice.
Lap 20 running order …. 24,11,78,29,22,48,5,88,2,18 … 20,15,56,27,42,14,39,9,99,43
Greg Biffle was up to 25th on lap 23.
Kevin Harvick’s car rolled good through the turns.
Hamlin’s car was extremely loose and he fell through the field like a rock after he lost the lead. He was in 14th place on lap 39.
40 laps into the race Kenseth said his car was so loose it was hard to drive. He was in 9th at the time.
Danica Patrick went a lap down early in the race before lap 40.
Denny Hamlin was in 21st on lap 45. On lap 51 he spun and brought out the first caution.
Running order on lap 56 … 29,24,78,48,5,88,2,5,20,27 … 18,42,56,99,43,39,14,15,55,1
