LOTS of spotter communication while 3 wide.

mcollinstn

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

mcollinstn

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

mcollinstn

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.

mcollinstn

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

mcollinstn

harvick and gordon hung jr out to dry.

pits soon.

mcollinstn

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".

mcollinstn

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

mcollinstn

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.

mcollinstn

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