down the road, get the tires under caution.>> you have to do it under green. >> you have to. it doesn't matter. i don'teither, larry. >> here comes harvick. he's going to get hislap right here from joey logano. >> i think this is going to have to be theirstrategy now. i think when they come to pit road under green, they're just going to gettwo tires. they're not going to gain anything by getting four.>> exactly. >> then when the caution comes, they'll getthe other two. those who pitted back around the halfway point, they're going to have toget four. >> i agree. i love the strategy. i would nothave come at halfway. i would have come near

the end of the window, right when it getsto the end. >> teammates fighting for second. jamie.>> and kyle busch, to larry's point, that's exactly what we saw earlier today. when iasked adams if he's taking two or four, he looked at me very coyly, so they're up tosomething. he said his tension is loose up the middle. that's all he said.>> i agree with larry. the die is cast. they'll get green. make the mandatory stop and getless and get off pit road quickly and hopefully start up front.>> i think that's a great strategy. >> we could be overthinking this.>> i know. we don't even know what a great strategy is yet. but i like that strategy.>> kyle edward going for second place and

getting it from kyle busch.>> that's what i like about these 50-lap segments. there's a lot of strategy playing out. inthe final segment, it's going to be going all out. taking advantage of new tires versusold tires. >> here's second, third, fourth, with bradkeselowski in the picture. >> i agree with you. i believe they gave one away.>> oh, yeah. he was doing it on a two-tire strategy and got a little bit behind comingfor the ten-lap shoot-out. sped out of the pits, got a speeding penalty. that put himin the rear and it cost him the race. i'm sure he's aware of it just like we are.>> chase elliott is also trying to get up

there to lap himself. he was back on pit road.>> whoa, whoa, man. >> he almost got into the wall. got reallyloose. he mentioned he was loose landing. that's what you call loose landing right there.>> you know what i think? the 2 and the 24, there was so much air it put him high on thewall. >> kurt busch is going to inhale him hereon turn four and pass on the left. he may not make it to lap 46 on those tires.>> i think what happened there was all air. i this i the 42 and the 24 shoved him up thehill. >> the thing i see here -->> you have to slow down. they slide out so easy.>> he cannot lose too many positions here

so when they do the next two-tire stops, he'llstill able to maintain the lead. if he loses too many spots, heck, he might not come outthe leader and others could do, you know, four tires.>> they'd better make ready. they have to stop in three laps.>> yeah. they've got to come to pit road. >> here they come. the race leader peels offthachlt will hand the lead to carl edward and chase elliott just got his lap back fromcarl. >> 75 goes around again.>> vince? >> joey logano says the car has gotten tighteras he's gone in the center. it's going to be left side only for the 22of joey logano. he's led ten laps.

not made their green flag two-tire stop. thenascar official is holding kenseth for a one-lap penalty. a lot of special rules for this race,and here's their reaction. >> you have to tell me what to do.>> i guess they're going to have to pit, matt. they told me if they got in this situation,they'd red flag it so we'd have an opportunity to pit and that's not what they're doing.caution came out with four laps to go. pit. >> i just need to know what to do.>> that's one cool customer there. >> i would be screaming and he just said tellme what to do. >> larry, the explanation we had was the cautionlaps counted if they ran out the segment under caution. you know, that would happen justin a normal race.

>> but this is the risk you run when runningit right up against that window of lap 47. >> it's not as if they didn't have the opportunityto pit. they had plenty of opportunity. they chose to wait that long. i do think there'sa little bit of confusion because according to them, they feel like nascar told them theywould red flag it. green is what they're trying to say, but laps count under caution evenif they red flag it and roll back. >> everything they're saying is contradictedby something that doesn't work. >> so here's the situation as we complete50 laps, this time by segment one. carl edwards is the leader at the end of the segment onefollowed by brad keselowski, kyle busch, kevin harvick, and chase elliott. one is down alap due to a penalty and jamie mcmurray because

of his spin.>> now, if you're asking yourself, well, how did edwards, keselowski, kyle busch get aheadof harvick, they hit pit road right as the caution came out and only did two tires. notonly was it a shorter stop what the 4 car made with four tires, they were able to beathim off pit road and almost maintain their position.>> now, edwards is not the first car in line behind the safety car. the seven cars aheadof him may be looking to take a the wave around but under normal sprint cup races the waivearound is only permitted if you do not pit during that caution and the rules say youmust pit during this caution. >> that's what it says.>> i would think they would get him to wave

around.>> that's what it said, but i don't know. look. i knew when we started this night thatthese ruling and this race was going -- we were going to see things that were going tobe pretty hard to explain and understand. >> let's watch and see how it plays out. pitroad is open. >> i believe edwards is the seventh car inline and is the race leader, so they're on the tale end of the lead lap. they're going to pit. take their two or fourtires. if they can get out ahead of the leader, maybe they can go around.>> that's a first for me. >> i'm telling you boys. matt?>> going to work on that left rear. meanwhile

clay rom inson, he hit the lug on the rightfront. going to work here. left side's on, and he's away, jamie.>> he took left last time, right this time. an adjustment of 75. kyle busch, a four tirestop there and kevin harvick, they want to take four tires. kyle busch, they took left.>> there's the advance auto parts race off pit road. kasey kahne, brad keselowski, kylebusch, denny hamlin, jimmie johnson are the first off pit road.>> see, all those guying changing two tires, that was the car that pitted before the cautioncaution came out or pitted after lap 40. so obviously they were going to take two. everybodyelse had to take four. >> larry mcmurray has still got a problem.the right rear is rubbing on the sheet metal

for some reason, you see smoke coming offthe car. >> wow.>> under caution at the end of >>> let's go back and look at pit road. kaseykahne's crew let a tire get away and the uncontrolled tire violation means he will restart at thetail end. matt kenseth did suffer a one-lap penalty for failing to make the green flagpit stop. nascar brought all the cars around after they left pit road. to pit road onceagain. stopped them. checked lug nut torque for a minimum of 40 pounds per lug nut andno issues you're right. ite going to end like that and i would definitelyblame it on the full moon. >> okay. these guys knew their lug nuts weregoing to be collected at the end of this caution

right here. carl edwards when he was sittingon pit road, he changed right. this is when he came back between segments to do left.the left front tire changer right here knew he didn't have all the lugs on. he put themon first and then went and checked the left. knew they were going to be checked. heads-upmove. >> the sounds we hear in the booth -->> boy, that's really good. dove bars. >> i feel like harry hog, eating ice creamright knew. >> that was in the days of the movie "daysof thunder." those things really happened. harry hyde who was listed as a technical advisertold them during the breaks. they wrote a lot of that stuff in this script. you can'tpit now for tires, we're having ice cream.

how about dale jr. audio.>> this ace reminds me of the first time i tried to drive a remote control helicopter.i didn't know what was going on. >> oh, that's perfect. that's priceless.>> you can't make this up. >> matt kenseth, he's cracking me up. junior'scracking me up. >> now, the way they came onto pit road wastrevor bayne first. >> 31 of newman, 78, and the 5, and what?the 14. >> the 14. and then leader carl edwards wasa little further back. >> so had those cars pitted under green?>> yes. they had all pitted under green, but i'm not sure why the pace car did not pickup carl edwards, the race leader. i think

things would be much more clear had that happened.and now the track vac and sweeper doing a little more work down there on that wet spotacross from pit ten right there -- you see that strip of asphalt to the left?that's part of the quarter mile track that the legends cars race on on tuesday nightsin summer shoot-out. they use the backstretch and part of the front stretch in that littleturn. so the pace car picked up the leader, which was matt kenseth.>> right. >> kenseth pulled onto pit road to serve hispenalty and get his tires and that left all of those lapped cars behind him in front ofthe new leader carl edwards. so now we do understand what happened.>> to me they should have done a wave-around

and then let the cars come down pit road.how can they let the cars come down pit road when the leader is behind them? i've neverseen that ever. the 5 car sitting here talking about possibly being the leader and they hada tire violation, but he should have never been on pit road ahead of the other cars.>> i guess the question is when the clock stopped at 50 laps, had casey cane completededa many laps as carl edwards? >> i think they found a flaw in the system.you can't pit. yet the rules say a mandatory two-tire top between the segment. so you can'tdo both. >> you know, i keep thinking back to whatjeff said at the start of the race. if you want to have a good race, cool race, let thedrivers get involved. see where i'm going

with this?>> hey, brad, other drivers, you might not want to be bragging about this. >> let's look ahead to the second foo-lapsegment because things get even more interesting. first, larry?>> yeah. we talked about kasey kahne with an uncontrolled tire. this is the pit roadofficiating system that nascar uses. this is when he came in to change the right sidetires here. you're going to see this tire right here. that one right there, rollingoutside the box. they can retrieve it all they want but it went outside the box. that'san uncontrolled tire. >> let's just do one at a time.>> i'm just saying i happened to notice that.

>> so kasey kahne is going to serve his penalty.let's look ahead to segment two. here's carl edwards' radio.>> that happens, but we missed one on the right front. we went to get it. we knockedit off instead of getting it on there. sorry about that. we'll make it up to you here ina few minutes. >> it is no problem.>> so in segment two, the rules are a little different. the pits will close at lap 85.35 laps into this 50-lap segment. so you must get at least two tires on a green flag stopbefore lap 85. >> do you want to make a bet nobody goes thatfar though? they'll put a little insurance into this?>> i would. bit that 20 car doesn't.

>> now, if there's caution regular race rulesapply and kenseth can get a lucky dog and get back on this. he's not out of this byany means. >> i don't believe i ever heard the drivercarl edwards, calm and cool don't worry about it, we'll make it up. everybody's calm so far.>> by the way, that ice cream comment that harry hyde made was in 1987 at rockinghamto hall of famer kenny parsons. you can't come in for tires. we're having ice cream.>> that's not made up. that's a true story. >> yes, sir. here we go. the 2016 toyota camrysxe pulls in. we're getting ready to start segment two. we're back under green.>> great restart. nice and even.

>> brad trying to break the draft off the75 of kyle busch here. >> he don't want him down on the door.>> the 4 car is stuck in the middle falling back on this restart. i think the 41, teammatekyle busch may have got a big run. >> whole. man, brad carried that thing inthere and it's going to slide up in front of the 75 here.>> and did with the lead coming for second. denny hamlin on the inside. may take kylelarson with him. >> oh, larson. he's working his way rightup into the picture, guys. the little 42 car is coming snup where did denny hamlin comefrom? now he's in second. >> now, kevin harvick has fallen to tenth.kyle larson battling. taking over third. here's

the replay of the restart from kevin harvick.>> i thinkcut busch got alongside of him. had to check up a little bit.>> jamie? >> he's also feeling something strange inthe steering wheel. he reported after the first stop he had a lot of slack and suddenlyhad to put a lot of wheel in it. right there he said the car went straightwhen he tried to turn. >> a lot of times that can be air pressure.the air pressure can be real low and load up the steering like that. maybe that willgo away. >> joey logano the sixth against jimmie johnson.how about larry hamlin, larry? >> i want to answer jeff gordon's question.to my point when the caution came out. mike

wheeler brought the car to pit road and broughttwo tires, so that means in between the segment he only had to change two additional tires.i don't understand why more drivers and teams didn't do that.>> also what i'm realizing on the time they're scoring. the drivers and teams we saw comingdown pit road, think i the exact same thing happened. they had not pitted yet. if youlook at the time and scoring. . a bunch of them are one lap down.>> they had all pitted earlier, jeff. >> they had?>> but remember when the segment -- when the caution came out, which end ofthe segment, kenseth was the leader. when he took the caution flag before he came into serve the penalty, that trapped all of

those cars one lap down. so scoring has beenadjust taos reflect that bayne is a lap down. so is true, biffle, stewart, patrick, kahne,and neuman. so the first 11 cars are on the lead lap.>> okay. it's all starting to come a little clearer here thachlt i don't do a wave-around,i guess, in this format. >> no. but it a going to make the draw interestingif it stays this way. >> matt condition seth, it will not be easy.joey logano challenges kyle busch for fifth. >> i'll tell you what, this 42 car with theother, that 42 car is gaining on the 11 pretty good, guys, for third place. second place.logano is getting by the 75 of kyle busch here. that 22 is pretty good right now.>> logano takes fifth. did kyle busch just

slap the wall coming off four? maybe not.>> he's looking pretty loose on this run. >> yeah.>> here's chase elliott in seventh. trying the outside. here are the drivers who transferredfrom the showdown and the fan vote. brad keselowski has jumped out to a lead over denny hamlin.for those of you looking for nhra qualifying, it will be coming up right here on fs1 afterthe conclusion of the sprint all-star race. we are nine out of 50 laps in segment two.here's the leader. >> am i going to assume with only 11 carson the lead lap that everyone will get their lap back because everyone has to pit?>> we don't know either. >> okay. you see the dilemma. thanks.>> yeah. all now, dale junior is the last

car on the lead lap nine seconds back. who'sthat slowed? larson?>> 42. i mean it. i thought he was out of here.>> i had a er or something. >> something happened.>> weepers are when standing water behind the safer barrier leaks out from underneathand onto the racetrack. if there's just one or two of them, drivers can usually work aroundit as long as it doesn't get too bad. >> watch this, mike. this is a great save.i don't know how he hung on. this car just jumped sideways.>> wow. >> tires are smoking and everything.>> stayed after it. 13 laps completed. segment

bane, mcmurray are all on pit road. now, thesetire changes do not count toward the requirement of changing two tires under green before lap85. the lap count, 18 of 50 in this segment. that's lap 68 in the race.>> did you ever think that rules were so basic and simple that we could get this confusedwith things. >> well, i can understand now that when thatcaution came out and matt kenseth was the leader, that trapped a group of cars one lapdown and when matt kenseth peeled off to serve the penalty, they were still -- they hadn'tcompleted as many laps as carl edward who was the lap leader. i'm glad it's all sortedout now. jamie? >> they see some fluid on the hood. they'renot sure where it's coming from. they're not

sure if indeed it's the power steering. they'regoing to put and take a look at it and see if that is the problem.>> if you see fluid and he's complaining about the car not steering right. it's got somethingto do with the power steering unit, with box or reservoir or something.>> they've been able to do this without losing a lap because track drivers are at the workof turn number two. you see the field rolling around. provided by goodyear. to chase challengingconditions on the track and on the road. goodyear. official tire of nascar. 19 of 50 laps insegment two.

600 was born in 1960. here we are on fullmoon saturday night. >> hey, guys, i may stand corrected againfor the evening because the 24 car did a pretty nice job with this repair to the quarter panel. >> i think it's better.>> whoa. he almost -- oh, my lord. >> pablo montoya on line two. oh, my goodness.larry? >> if you dare.>> we're coming to lap 80. now, remember this mandatory minimum two has to come before lap85. so once we get the green, it's going to be pretty much -- pit road is going to beflooded over the next couple of laps with all the teams making the mandatory stop.>> that's basically what 24 was trying to

do is get ahead of it. now i think there'sgoing to be a flurry when this thing goes green.>> everybody's expecting it. >> what is kurt and his team expecting?>> there's a random idea that we pit. as soon as it turns green, we pit.>> we weren't going to talk about that, but, yeah, that's what we were thinking.>> 10-4. >> spoiler alert.>> spoiler alert indeed. hey, you might as well have fun with this, right?>> you don't need any code to that. >> do you like that stlatgy?>> yeah. i want a little better strategy than what went on with chase elliott.>> everybody's expecting it now.

>> they were trying to get there as the fieldwas getting up to speed basically one lap after a restart.>> correct me if i'm wrong, but isn't that what just caused that crash? that strategyis not great. chase elliott is on pit road and cars are crashed because of pitting outof the pack. spoiler alert. >> hey, michael. this is all-star race. weknow. nobody checks up an all-star race. you put it to the floor and you go and you don'twant to lose momentum. every position is so crucial. that's why idon't like the idea of coming that early. let him get strung out a little bit.>> we know more than we did. >> if i'm a spotter from the roof, i'd starttelling everybody, we're coming down pit road.

>> everybody in that column beginning withdenny hamlin, joey logano and on back. >> look. caution lights are off, so we'regoing to get down to it, buddy. >> we're going green. i would be droppingdown to the apron now. >> chase elliott is going to get back on track.i'm not sure if he'll catch the pack before they get to green. don't think so. but that'sall right. he'll have to make a stop as all of these drivers will.>> can you make the stop when you drop the green flag, larry?>> you've got to take the green on the track. >> not sure of that.>> you have to take the green on the track, i pretty sure of that.>> ask kurt busch.

>> i'm pretty sure of that.>> that makes sense. >> yep. everybody's coming to the green. herewe go. 20 to go with segment two. green flag. >> boy, that 18 -->> three wide. >> that 75 got a great restart.>> carl edwards up high. >> three wide here coming off turn two. that'sa little dicey. >> still three. still three. still three.>> all right. who's going to pit. >> two wide. 42.>> that's going to got bottle them up. here they come.>> 11's coming with him. >> he gets a lot of penalty.>> 32 on your right.

>> seven cars come to pit road. jimmie's in.matt? >> the first car to hit his box is jimmiejohnson. we've been seeing him make adjustments almost every stop tonight. he's away, vince.>> the 22 of joey logano took left side the first, right side the second and right sideonly on this stop. jamie?>> kurt busch told us what he was going to do. right side for the 41 and right side.and 75, kyle busch on pit road. >> everybody stops except ryan newman, danicapatrick and he couldn't get in. >> kyle larson is in. he's away.>> i'll tell you what. there was a great heads-up of driving on kyle larson. he knew the 41was coming to pit road. he didn't check up

but he went high, made it three wide to makesure e he didn't get in the back of 41. >> there were so many cars on pit road kyleran out of room and he had to go around. >> here are the last cars, ryan newman, danicapatrick, carl edwards, and chase elliott. matt?>> california's play. he hit the lugs. barely gets out of the way as he leads a little danceand pivot, and he is away. >> so now as they come back, it will be 15to go or 16 to go rather in segment two. going have to pit in what, two more laps?>> now, you'll see carl edwards miss pit road on his first try, and here's a look at itas they come around. edwards is up high. can't make the commitment cone and goes around.and the speeding police are on the case. kyle

busch you saw on that replay.>> section one. >> he's done. he got to pit road in a hurry.he got there really fast. he's one of those that gets to pit road better than anybody,if you look at the statistics. unfortunately he got there a little bit too good that time.>> yeah. he's going to have to do a drive-through here, so he's going to need to do it prettyquick. >> he is the race leader. jamie mcmurray,also too fast entering. >> black flag. black flag. stand by. >> stay on the lead lap. don't slip them.we will not be able to pit. we will not be able to pit.>> all we're doing is managing the gap to

the two here, right?>> hey, guys, they changed left side tires on their green flag stops to have a quickstop knowing if they stayed up front, they would get four. but as he just told him, theywill not be able to pit. so he's going to be out there on fairly new right side tires.>> remember i told you before the race started in the meeting, give me a gibbs car and ithink i'll be oklahoma. >> denny hamlin is going to do get by daleearnhardt jr. and kurt busch. >> denny's had an eventful evening.>> absolutely. >> eight laps to go in segment two. well kylebusch has to start the final segment from the front two rows.>> we've got to battle down in the back between

the 2 and the 42.>> for the lead. kyle larson. >> 42's going to get the lead here, guys.he's coming off turn four. by the two he goes. >> three wide off the corner. turn four. isthis going to work? >> i can't wait to see if kyle larson winsthis segment, comes in and gets four tires, that's going to be a show.>> we know what he can do, don't we. >> hey, guys, on that at 65 for the weepers,kyle larson came to pit road and got four fresh tires. brad keselowski stayed out.>> it's starting to show, larry. >> who is it that almost lost their car andcomplained of weepers? kyle larson, the leader. >> it's a full moon.>> it certainly is.

>> it's wouch those nights.>> think of all the mistakes and issues people are having are somehow coming back to payit for them. >> ryan newman batting, he's two down.>> look. the 48 just checked up right there. i think he's playing the strategy game rightnow. >> he's ninth right now and the invert iseither nineten, or eleven. >> he needs one more. i say he needs to bein 12. >> i say 11 is the hero or zero position.>> look at this. he doesn't want to pass him. >> no.>> he thinks he's going to wreck him. >> johnson, truex -- four to go in segmenttwo. the first eight know they're going to

pit for four tires and get inverted. the questionmarks are 9, 10, and 11. than is harvick, elliott, and biffle. now, trevor bayne isseventh. now sixth. chase elliott is tenth. he may or may not be part of the invert andmay or may not have fresh tires for the final 13 lap segment.>> i think we heard kyle busch in the 75 say just manage the gap. that's really all he'sdoing right now. keeping the 42 at bay. >> now, they have shut down pit road, so nobody'sallowed to come to pit road. until this segment is over.>> one to go. >> one to go.>> in segment two. no bonus points or money for leading at the end of a segment. so rightnow the cars that will be inverted and will

have to come to pit road for tires are larson,keselowski, earnhardt, logano, kurt busch, trevor bayne, harvick, and hamlin, maybe chaseelliott and maybe greg biffle. >> i think kyle larson's strategy was notonly to get by keselowski, but to push that 18 car as hard as he could to make him useup his tires because the 48 car was out there cruising, trying to save his tires.>> 50 laps are all but complete here as the field cycles through. e scored at the start/finish line. segmenttwo is history. how many cars will have to come to pit road for four tires and restartout back. chris myers. >> all right, mike. the inversion game beginshere with just 13 laps to go. we have a nine,

a ten, and an eleven. nobody knows the exactorder of these envelopes. >> jimmie johnson.>> he wants me to pull 11. >> pull 11.>> all right. >> so these are the -->> jimmie owes me here. i've never seen these cars before.>> funk & wagnell. >> if i pull 11 here -->> the number is -- what is the number? are you kidding me? number 11. oh, my goodness.>> jimmie owes me dinner. jimmie owes me dinner. jimmie goes to number one. he just won therace. >> we don't know yet.>> if he won number one.

>> this is legitimate.>> i have to make sure he didn't put all 11s in here.>> so dale goes to 4, is that right? chase elliott will be -- chase elliott will be -->> 11? >> he'll be ten.>> ten. >> let's ask the drivers. you picked the rightone. you picked the right one. >> everybody's got to carry their weight.i'm sorry. this is the nine. >> let jimmie know.>> look. there are a lot of people suspicious with your hendrick motorsports hat.>> i'm a team guy. you have to realize i worked out with these guys.>> e he's won more all-star races.

>> he's a great guy. what can i say.>> that's very impressive who is his greatest competition?>> i can't wait to watch any of them. >> thanks.>> appreciate it. >> thank you too.>> thanks, greg. >> we know 11 cars must pit. they must getfour tires. no one else is allowed to pit number u, this order is how they'll come ontopit road. the order of restart depends how they come off pit road after the four-tirestop. so this is likely to be the money stop right here.>> all i know is this is what i've been waiting for. the 44 last time took two rights. the75 took two rights. that's what they have

to work with.>> the road is open. the first 11 cars come on pit road. that means johnson and kyle buschdue to a penalty will restart on the front row. matt?>> changing up their watch, he'll going to pull in the right front. bring it around andgas the car when the changer comes back around after the four tire stop. looks good. vince?>> it's going to be a four-tire change as reyeared by the rules. he said my car is good.jamie? >> he thinks he's going to with the best bestout there with a little more grip now. four tires for everybody.>> it has kyle larson infront of dale earnhardt jr. denny hamlin up two, trevor bayne downtwo here. 's the race off pit road. when our

troops don't come back, someone has to helptheir families move forward. my family lost so much. it was a shock. it was a void. special operations warrior foundation wasthere for me. without special operations warrior foundation, i don't know how we would allafford to go to college. now through july 31st, a portion of each sale of speciallymarked cherry extra strength 5-hour energyâ® shots benefits the special operations warriorfoundation. we hope you will join the fight. >>> ready for the final segment in this sprintall-star race. after 100 laps jimmie johnson is the leader. he's the first of 13 lead lapcars. seven leaders, 13 lead changes, four cautions for 19 laps. carl edward and kylelarson leading at the end of the first two

segments. and i believe martin truex jr. wasthe free pass car on that caution. that would give us -- that would give us 14 cars to restarton the lead lap. now, jamie mcmurray came in and took on tires since he was not oneof the first 11 that were required to do so, he will be held one lap.>> i believe he was already a lap down. i think they're just doing a test session forthat one car at this point. >> 19 might have a problem here.>> nascar officials checking lug nuts. we're told the left front does not have five nutstorqued to the minimum 40 pounds. 40 is not much.>> good grief. >> for an alloy wheel, 65, 70 pounds. i'mnot sure for steel but it's more for tight.

fully is really tight to the where. that iswhat's required. larry? >> mike, as far as the check here, they'relooking to see that it's against the wheel. that 40-pound torque was going to be afterqualifying. >> larry, did you see what he did on 19? hejust bumped it. >> it's all it takes.>> could that have been a million dollar bleep? >> it may very well be.>> there's the call. he's pointing over here. he's pointing to it. right. no good on theleft and carl's got his hands up like what? >> are you kidding me? he's really upset.>> he was the third car off pit road and now he goes to the back.

all right, boys.>> all right. >> full moon saturday night.>> yeah. >> 13 laps go.>> yeah. >> a million dollar in the rating.>> yeah. >> what could possibly go wrong?>> everything. everything has gone wrong. >> guys, mike.>> during that last green flag run, you saw jimmie johnson dropping back a bit gettinginto that 12th position. and everybody noticed, beginning with the spoeter, the 42.>> see that the 48 and 4 sand bagging. i guess that 100% rule only applies to certain people.>> oh, yeah, the old 100% rule.

>> hadn't thought about that. we haven't usedthat one for a whine. harvick, i guess he was sort of gambling. if they drew nine, iguess that would have worked out for him. definitely there's no tout the 478 was droppingback to get into that position. we're about to find out anyway.>> the 100% rule say, just to pair phrase, you need to do everything you can to try towin the race and get the best result. snap did jimmie johnson did that?>> i think he did. >> case closed. judge wapner, 5:00.>> i really believe it's going to benefit the 42 of kyle larson it he wants to be onthe outside. he wanted to take him three wide and get as many an he possibly can. he watchedchase elliott in the shoaldown. watch it heap.

>> one to go. so the rules for the final segmentare very simple. sprint has been a sponsor of the sprint cup series for 13 years. we're going to raise 13 green flag laps tosee who wins a mill yin. they determined that ten was not nur. 15 was too much. that's anotherscenario. >> i think that scenario assumed there wouldbe more than two cars. >> i told you that was optimistic.>> the free band car inzeks. >> december anything know what's behind him?>> it's not going to work in faber of the 42 because he has to trop to the back. i thinklair son. >> i just want to tell you one thing. holdonto your seating.

>> that should be good. i'm ready. i can'twait to watch the trucks go. these things are so entertaining.>> feel fast and balanced? >> right where i need to be.>> let's go downstairs, hermie and kaitlyn where they need to be and begin with hermie.>> a comweekends ago at kansas william byron went to victory lane as a rookie for kylebusch motorsports. who could be next to get that done in that organization? let's lookat christopher bell in the number 4. look back to the start of his season. tumultuousbeginning to the season. go back to daytona, very end of the race he just turns sideways.in the 4, he is on the roof flipping down the front stretch in daytona. first time out,then we head to atlanta, teammates get together,

the 4, the 51, the 88. another crash in arace for christopher bell. but the last couple weekends you can see him to start, to getit together. to finish these races. another crash you seeright there. the last couple weekends, dover and kansas, this team turned into the corner.they are finishing. you see a fourth an a third the last couple races, a lot of momentum.you guys mentioned the competition caution. i spoke to crew chief jerry baxter. you seehim on screen. he said hermie, if we had run last night i was going to get two tires onthe competition caution. but now they're racing in the daytime, i'm going to have to see wherethe balance of this truck goes. we'll follow the progress of the ford truck from the 15thstarting position. kaitlyn?

>> well, hermie one regular looking for hisfirst win of the rear is tyler reddick. he's finished top 15 in the last few races we'vehad on a mile and a half racetrack. this team is coming off the best season so far. seventhat dover. tyler and i spoke. he said those finishes are not motivational. what is itthe fact that we've been able to lead a lot of laps. they've led more laps at this pointin the season than they did at this point in 2015. now he said he likes coming to charlottemotor speedway. he said the way you drive this racetrack, you can't drive like thatanywhere else. he said charlotte is unique. he will roll off sixth for today's race.>> by this time last season tyler reddick had won twice. how nice it would be for thatteam if they could score that first win of

the season for today.>> how about these kids. do you think they just watched our sprint all-star showdown,running side by side, three wide in the corners, that amazing move by trevor bayne. that couldhave inspired these guys to get after it here. >> how about the end of the last segment.couple guys for the last transfer spot. >> our front row, william byron on the outside.he is our polesitter. qualifying was canceled because of rain but based on thursday's practice,he will be the control truck. >> been a lot of talk about restarts. we'vehad a lot of people busted for jumping the restart here. you saw it with ryan blaneyearlier today. let's keep an eye on this. you can't beat william byron to the start/finishline.

on the initial start. that's the rule. spencergallagher, g-man on the inside, he has to stay behind the 9.>> north carolina education lottery 200 from charlotte motor speedway, we are under way,the green flag waves! >> gallagher spins his tires.>> william byron quickly out front. reddick looking underneath for second.>> that's the 21 of johnny sauter, outside battling for second. the tight draft downon the bottom into turn three. both those bad keselowski fords on the bottom, 29 reddick,19 hemric. >> hemric had a chance to go three wide butpushed his teammate instead. >> it's early in the race. let's get sortedearly and help our teammate out if he can

and that's what he did.>> johnny. >> looking at gallagher, all the way backoutside the top five after starting on the front row and he's loose.>> had to move it up the hill. rico abreu in the 98 realized that and gave him extraroom. >> abreu took advantage as well, gained thatspot. that's rico on the outside in the 98. he watched his buddy, kyle larson, a dirtracer pull off the win. great battle for that third place position. hemric in the blue truck.johnny sauter on the outside. christopher bell trailing closer.>> you know, phil, i talked about kyle larson the dirt racer. that's abreu's backgroundand christopher bell. i like that kind of

racing for this racetrack. you move aroundand you can hit the low groove, move around and find the high groove. that's what dirtracers do. and that means they can be successful here or -- oh, golly.>> ben rhodes sideways in the 41 truck. >> sideways at dover and crashed his teammate.this is all -- every lap is a learning experience for these kids. aerodynamically, these trucksare a handful when they get in traffic because of the big spoilers on the back. it disrupts the air, makes them difficultto hang on to. >> how about kyle jumping to the high sidein that toyota? let's listen. does he run her wide open?>> that's what the guys were telling me. michael,

we're running faster than ever happened. we'reout of the throttle more than we've been. >> look how he gained here on the 41 of rhodes.>> kyle busch, a six-time winner here at charlotte, gains the position. ben rhodes inside. kylelooking for more. >> you can see kyle goes way up the trackleaving room between he and rhodes. matt crafton, your guy, one of the six or eight guys youpicked to win this race. >> i just took everybody with some experience.>> that's around the 12th, 13th, 14th, 15th position, just throw a blanket over five orsix of them. >> isn't that great? that's the kind of racingwe have, even back throughout the whole pack here in the truck series. these guys knowhow important it is to get to the front in

a hurry, because the races are so short.>> kyle busch on the outside of the 18 truck. the 33 is ben kennedy.>> you're talking about a north carolina education lottery. you can get an education here racingalong with kyle busch. you talked about his record, phil, how does he is here. he cutthat truck right to the bottom after making a move on the topside. he has a versatilehandling truck. >> brand new truck here for kyle this weekend.wasn't particularly pleased with the way it was handling on thursday in the one-hour practicesession. >> he can take one of the haulers from inthe garage area and come out here and run well in this truck race.>> he hopes that translates to his teammates

running well as well. christopher bell, yousee him locked in that battle deep in traffic, so bell didn't have a very good practice sessionon thursday either. that team was looking for serious adjustments after practice.>> matt crafton, that bright yellow toyota tundra. that's brandon jones on the outside.the 71 as crafton slips in for 12th. >> i was talking to junior joiner, matt crafton'screw chief, any concern because you're starting so far back? he said absolutely. we need to log laps here,try to move up until we get that competition caution.>> remember competition caution coming around lap 25. there's our leader william byron,already a winner this season at kansas. almost

a two-second lead over tyler reddick.>> really stretching it out early is william byron. he's taken advantage of that strongrun on thursday afternoon to start up front. rolling on. find out more about what's goingon with reddick with hermie. >> vince, this team also coming off a solidrun at dover, seventh place after starting the season with four finishes outside of thetop ten. good on the start, start at six. took advantage of that high side, made a couplegood passes. truck right now a little bit free getting involved in an accident, tryingto avoid somebody that had a problem. >> you guys talked about the comers and goersearlier. we had so many drivers with decent trucks further back in the pack. here's thatstart, as spencer gallagher doesn't get going

and loses several positions right away.>> i think he spun the tires. >> yes, for sure.>> watch it back up that inside line. >> kennedy gives him a push. kennedy triesto go to the inside. gallagher shut the door on ben. they're going by him three wide now.>> christopher bell on the inside, pressuring spencer gallagher, as bell gets around brandonjones. >> the battle for third right there.>> now we take a look at kyle busch right behind johnny sauter in the 21. that's daniel hemric, the 19 on the outside.he's running third right now. >> that was the 49 of timmy hill. they lappedaround hill. got into the wall thursday night.

he's in a backup truck. those guys got aroundhim. busch is on the move. along with crafton. i like the way the 88 truck. both he and kylebusch are looking like they can drive all over this racetrack. when you get toward thefront you have to have the ability to do that. >> kyle has been really working the high side.>> right around the outside of johnny sauter. put kyle up to the fourth spot.>> william byron has led them all so far. the 18-year-old from right here in the charlottearea. making all his high school friends proud that are sitting in the stands cheering himon. north carolina education lottery 200. freedom is in the air. because now you'refree to watch your directv with unlimited data from at&t. so snowbound family, you'renow free! people stuck in this elevator...

and he's fighting through traffic, up to second.the only one left in his windshield is william byron that lays up ahead. what are they sayingin the 9 for william byron? >> michael vince mentioned it earlier aboutfellow students of william byron here, he has over 100 students from charlotte countryday sitting in the stands supporting him. william will be graduating from high schoolon may 27th and heading off to liberty university in the fall. he has a lot of supporters here.speaking of supporters, the crew chief told me having kyle busch here elevates the confidencelevel of all these drivers. they had a big meeting following practice to debrief andkyle takes a lot of time to work with his drivers when he's entered into these raceswith them.

>> what a great advantage it is to be a williambyron or christopher bell, a daniel suarez, some of these young drivers in the truck seriesthat have an opportunity to have kyle busch debrief with them.>> remember how involved he was at dover when daniel suarez was trying to chase down crafton.up on top of the pit box giving advice. he came up just short of getting by matt crafton.>> there's the 19 of daniel hemric, currently running third.>> how about of the three top runners, two of them are local charlotte residents.>> yep. competition caution coming here in just a few laps at around lap 25. that's whythe caution clock, by the way, the caution clock not in effect at the beginning of thisrace, because of the fact that we are going

to have that competition caution at lap 25. >> looks like hemric has picked up the pace.once kyle busch got around him, kyle hasn't been able to drive away. daniel is doing agreat job in keselowski's number 19 truck. >> we talk about the guys trying to get theirspot in the chase. a matter of time before the 19 truck -- oh, trouble big hit. andy.loose off turn two into the inside wall. he was a lap down already. man, it's a toughbreak. just needed to nurse it a couple more laps and they could have worked on that truck.instead, he hits the inside wall. >> he's a modified champion, two-time modifiedchampions in the wheelin' southern modified tour. tough, tough break.>> great to see that window net come down.

>> that's andy's first start here in the truckseries. >> a talented racer. those modified showsthat he's won and the success he's had there, you know he can get it done behind the wheel.learning these big tracks is just different than what he grew up with and got used to.>> right about the spot we were taking the competition caution. like you said, if hecould just hold on for another lap, we'll see if we can get an idea of what happened.pretty good impact on the front end for sure. >> it's close enough to the time for the competitioncaution that nascar will deem this the competition caution.>> take a look at what happened here with this 1.>> had a truck right behind him. is that brandon

brown in the 86 truck? don't know if therewas contact. >> look, so close to saving it and at thelast minute got away from him. >> made contact with the safer barrier allthe way around the inside of this racetrack. >> still a pretty hard hit for andy. >> he will be taken to the infield care centerand evaluated, but he dropped that window net and that's a sign that he's feeling okay.of course he was able to bounce off the safer barrier. that makes such a tremendous differencewhen you have an impact. >> pit road still closed right now. i'm sureit will open next time by. >> wonder if we'll see two-tire changes herefor some track position?

>> i think you might, phil. i think kyle buschgets four, probably william byron. maybe if you're back in the back there. matt crafton,looked like his truck was handling well, but just barely able to crack the top ten in therun. >> just have your opinion there, stay leadingwith two or want to be third or fourth with four?>> i would rather keep track position for sure.>> there's the discussion that rudy fugal, the crew chief is having with his driver,william byron, at the front of the pack. same conversation you two are having.>> you know, phil, you can tell he's a rookie. #>> i love the fact that rudy asked him what

he thought. any veteran would have said, giveme four tires. racers, they want those four tires. but william says, i can keep leadingwith two, i would like it that option. interesting to see what they do, how much he takes whatwilliam is saying into consideration. >> we want that paper flapping because theycome with paper stickers on them. >> william byron will lead them down. thisis the competition caution. despite the fact that he spun, made the inside contact withthe wall, good to see him make his way to the ambulance. he will be taken to the medicalcenter. here they come down pit road for the first time today. hermie sadler will greetthem. >> two different issues on both trucks. the29 of tyler reddick his truck is loose, four

tires, air pressure downs the track bar. the19 of daniel hemric, his truck is tight. four tires. air pressure. they're going to raisethe track bar on the 19. kaitlyn if>> kyle busch is a six-time winner here in the truck series telling his team i need helpturning off the turn. they'll give him four tires, fuel, a round down on the track barand air pressure adjustment for kyle busch. for william byron, we heard them talking aboutgaining track position two or four, they've elected to do four tires for the 9 truck.>> so a little bit of a change-up there. the 98 of rico abreu, he took two. one of thefew that did. he gained a lot of positions. we'll see how those two tires hold up.>> matt crafton is losing a lot of track position,

guys. he's going to come out about 20th.>> wow. >> byron's team struggled as well with theirpit stop. that didn't go as planned. the four tires is the right decision. i like that.but the team had a bit of a hiccup on the left side there. matt crafton pitted. he waseighth when he came in. >> look at that. matt crafton right there,you see how he had to get in this pit, had to go around kyle busch. that's why he's inthe bad angle. probably going to have to push it back. he just had to wait for brandon jones,the 71 truck to get out of the way. there he goes. look how many position he's losingright now. >> wow.>> we'll see if matt crafton can cover. got

a long time to do it. just great coverage. it's t-mobile! only t-mobile'slets you stream video and music - for free! and we doubled our lte coverage in the lastyear. the other guys can't say that! we got you covered.>>> after our first set of pit stops, here at charlotte motor speedway, north carolinaeducation lottery 200, nascar camping world truck series, very nice thank you to tonystewart for all he has done for the sport. celebrated his birthday yesterday as well.happy birthday. smoke. running his last all-star race tonight.>> going to be fun. >> he's been such a good one, too.>> wow.

>> i respect him so much, appreciate him somuch. >> i'm just glad he's not going away. he'sgoing to be with us, obviously stewart-haas racing.>> i wasn't sure how that was going to work out with the 88, what he was doing. but tellhim thanks. >> 10-4. he told me before we stopped he wasgoing to give me a little. he couldn't give me much because of the 71. i'll talk to him.>> restart is under way. kyle busch on the inside, rico abreu on the outside. busch goesto the point. >> look at timothy peters. looking up on theoutside. we don't mind going three wide with trucks, do we?>> rico is on two tires, everybody else on

four. this will be a tough road for rico tohang on to it. we saw in the showdown earlier, two tires will work. four works better, obviously,but two fresh ones can keep you in the game. look at william byron, he's three wide.>> wow. >> like his teammate christopher bell in themix there with byron. >> john hunter nemechek, along with tylerreddick in the 29 truck, brandon jones, 71 on the outside.>> that's cole custer up top. this is a tight battle.>> christopher bell the 4 truck right in the front of reddick.>> abreu looks like he's been able to weather the restart. third spot. this will be interestingto watch rico run up front. this is the furthest

we've seen rico up there under green flagconditions. remember, abreu is fresh off the dirt track, just learning his trade here.>> getting better and better. he got a bad break last week, got taken out in the wreck.his finishing positions are getting better and better. this is so valuable for the youngman to get up there and run up front, prove to himself he knows what he's doing and getit done. >> notice we've come out of that caution.we do have the caution clock on the screen for the first time today. wasn't in effectwhile we were waiting for the competition caution at lap 25. if you're not familiarwith it, when that clock reaches zero, we will have a caution. it resets each time.>> look how tight that is, man. william byron

bounces off john hunter nemechek.>> he had to give christopher bell his teammate room on the inside. this is from the on board.>> that's casual contact, bill. two wide. >> i think christopher bell realized thatan he backed off and let william go. >> what about william byron, he said he wantedthat track position. i bet he really wants it now after being three wide and bouncingoff of another truck. >> good look at the 33, ben kennedy.>> remember last week at dover, william byron led a lot of that race in the 9 truck. gotbehind with pit spots that truck got loose in traffic and he wasn't near as good outback as he was out front. >> speaking of out front, that's kyle busch,the 28th straight race in the camping world

truck series in which he has participatedthat he has led. >> is that not amazing?>> wow. incredible. >> and he wasn't happy with that truck onthursday evening after practice. seems like the team has it tuned up now. i'm loving whois running second, daniel hemric putting the pressure on kyle busch. we think hemric willbe one of the guys that goes to victory lane this season. he looks like he's got a fasttruck here at charlotte. >> christopher bell, the 4 truck. trying tomake a move on ben kennedy. couldn't quite clear him off of four.>> that's for ninth and tenth. >> cole custer looking behind, looking totake advantage.

>> good run off of turn four. by kennedy.he was able to drive around the 4 truck of christopher bell.>> there's matt crafton, we saw him earlier, passing trucks on the bottom of the racetrack.he had problems during his pit stop and he's trying to get back through the field. he'spassing them high. like i said, you need a versatile truck if you're going to get tothe front. you have to go in any lane available. >> christopher bell in that 4 truck, that'scole custer right there with him. >> bell got off to a rough start to the season.we saw the big flip he had at daytona. 26th in atlanta, 19th in martinsville, races inwhich they ran well but just didn't finish. he's since then posted back-to-back top fives.you're on board with john hunter nemechek.

>> trying to get through the 98. of rico abreu.didn't clear him. here comes byron. >> what a great shot.>> clear on 9. 98 out there. we're about two in. we're about two in.>> that's what these drivers deal with lap after lap, information from the spotters.so they don't mess up and pick a lane that someone has occupied.>> how about rico abreu and that 98, his eighth career start. for a guy that really needed-- a lot of them needed the practice on thursday. he was looking forward to having three differentpractice oloday. >> they had three and a half hours scheduledand only got one hour of that. rico is doing a good job parlaying the two tires to remainin the top five.

>> last week at dover, ran up as high as seventh,ended up getting caught up in an accident with ben rhodes. finished 22nd.>> william byron, polesitter he's going to work rico over down the back straightawayand hopefully getting cleared before they catch the lap truck. he does that.>> you talked about it, phil. byron was dominate early in dover, got behind. it would be interestingto see if he can figure out how to pass trucks and get his way back in contention to win.here at charlotte. >> he's passed good trucks. he got by johnhunter nemechek, rico, just now, his teammate christopher bell a few moments ago.>> this is the battle for the lead. talked about hemric, keeping the heat on kyle busch.kyle is running low on the track. hemric a

bit up. that's a good battle. that's a greatjob by the young daniel hemric to chase down maybe the most talented, fastest trucker everin kyle busch. >> more on kyle with kaitlyn.>> talking to a lot of the crew chiefs before the race, they said kyle would be one to watch,not just because of all the success he's had here, but he's with one of the drivers who'shad experience running a day race here. they told me he's going to know exactly what adjustmentsto make to that truck to try and get as much speed out of it here running during the day.that seems to be the case. he's facing the field now. hermie?>> kaitlyn, about five laps before hemric started to reel in the eighth place, he predicteda battle. he said the 18 is starting to get

loose on late exit. the problem now, the aeropush,you can see him moving around on the racetrack trying to get clean air. on the nose of that19. he feels like he is faster than kyle busch. the question is, can he get by him?>> daniel hemric and crew chief chad kendrick both have had top five. they put the truckin the top five of both mile and a halves this season. the only team that has been abledo that, that 19. >> hemric will lead this lap, gets to theinside of bush. see if he can clear him in turns one and two.>> daniel hemric for the lead. >> middle.>> what a great run early for daniel hemric and that 19 truck of keselowski.>> trying to make it stick.

>> even, corner, right corner, coming backaround you. >> spotter joey -->> it's behind if you need it. 20 back to the -->> you see kyle giving hemric room. he could pull right down next to him and loosen thattruck up. he's not doing that. he's giving daniel plenty of room.>> it looks like hemric will clear him and take the lead.>> he does. >> it's your mark. whatever line you want.run your lane, figure out where this goes here.>> you mentioned joey meyer, spotter on 19. he's also the spotter for brad keselowskiin the sprint cup series. the other truck,

the 29 of tyler reddick. christopher bellmoving inside and matt crafton coming along with him.>> there's ben kennedy. all these guys racing for the eighth spot. bell took it away fromreddick and trying to bring matt crafton along. >> matt trying to bounce back after troubleoff pit road. matt started in the 17th spot, made his way up to the top ten and restartedoutside the top ten again, back into the top ten again.>> christopher bell, having a strong run. rough start to the season. he's got it figuredout now, phil. a couple strong races at kansas and dover. the team is running well againthis weekend. >> a new track for bell and many, but forbell in particular. a new track for him for

the third race in a row. so it makes a bigdifference when you're coming back to a place for the second, third, fourth time. when you'rerolling into a track for the first time three weeks in a row, that learning curve is prettysteep. >> he's from norman, oklahoma. racing on thedirt track, they have to learn the track in a hurry. i mean, a dirt track might be five minutes. they get eight or ten laps and have to go into heat races and qualifying. he knowsthe sense of urgency to get it done. now he has longer in the truck races to figure out how to get himselfin

a position late and i think he's doing a nice job of maturing and taking advantageof the distance of the race. >> at least they don't have to worry about how damp the track is and whether the track is heavy or dry-slick.>> he knows there's different grip levels and he will search
