LOTS of spotter communication while 3 wide.

20's bump on the side has cost him some front grip. he can't keep the speed up. pushing.

1/2 round down on jr's right side this stop. Try to loosen the front.

jr is arguing with pits on where to stop in the box. says stop short so he can get around 31 on the way out. they say stop long to give room for faster rear change.

jr and harvick are planning a run on biffle. they both think they are faster than the 16 but cant get by alone.

harvick and gordon hung jr out to dry.

pits soon.

jr had gas for lap 110, came in 105 with 20 saying "gonna take care of him - hes the best friend we have out here".

im the only one in this thread so i'll bail...

jr tells the pits after this last stop, that "whichever way youre going on the tires, its pretty free so chill out"

10-4 they say, but he's just set his three fastest laps of the race... he's made up a full seconds on leader #20 in 8 laps.

okay at this point (158) #20 has "most laps led" wrapped.
