" What -- for the final. -- into the bounced high water -- time. All right mr. Rubin -- And mr. Newman less -- and Dan -- being our -- okay let's be nice to each other. Good is Kyle Busch right up on the outside right away just as he did in yesterday's truck race. I don't find his way to the front in a hurry. -- We'll fight for the lead on lap one in my employee was one of the ones Ellis talked about he -- high -- although -- after nightfall he's fodder tabloid. The bottom for tire wars today. -- I think I'll get to the bottom when I get to the front. Can turn three. Rubin let the first lap got a spot bonus points look who's right let them Reed Sorenson got their lives at David's first lap but he -- hear it Jeff Dover. In the cup series. Indy 500. And trying to become. Fast all weekend in the target chip begins tonight I just think oh great things going to happen. Montoya and as we go down around your -- this year. -- I -- after. Montoya leave them laugh remember hits -- five. -- in the -- he's the man that -- the now what supports a great -- In the sixteen to join the that's Kyle Busch and Jimmie Johnson closed in. I want to play harder route --"
" Almost two putts -- I think what they're trying to."
" They're going to last very long. Usually why you gotta O'Meara nowadays Sorenson he's got a run behind. The root of the third Reed Sorenson has not -- to lead a lap in 2009 but boy he isn't. Today Michael back -- jumping up off the corner if this flash in the middle. Nearly sent last week maybe somebody needs to light a fire under -- about this. I think they may have had you know I'm not I don't we have a lot of talent in this. Obviously very good -- this weekend. All the good Nancy came -- all the other olympians are running great this weekend but if the battle for the third over there right inside your screen talked about -- Right that the most. In the front right in the nation wants me right. Little of that fact he's in seventh place. Montoya back sliding just a little bit. Think everybody right now and I'm not that I think you're just trying to get to that thirty lamb hit stop just for security -- thing. You want to take yourself out of breaks right here. The biggest movers Carl Edwards and it's not even. Jeter went to the high side and passed Montoya. Well my his -- up to fit what the dares a lot of grip up high but I -- I think like -- these guys know they get up. Priests are aware quicker than if they can't hang up bottom right now. What little Robert -- went down. Is right around the bottom of the need take your of the charge you that right now. -- Jeff Gordon started 42 -- ten positions. Crashed in qualifying this is -- back. And he's climbed ten spots since the start of the race pulling up on Robby Gordon David Reagan and Michael waltrip. -- side by side right and Jeff had a really. -- hearing qualifying. With the -- when you have back trouble this place looms as a backup and probably as much anywhere we go so much banking here so much forced down in the mourners Baghdad it's going to be hard for Jim if he's got back from this. For twelve. The best qualified for the Penske cars Sam hornish 77. -- Denny Hamlin who logged almost eighty laps of practice in the final session yesterday and 39 Ryan Newman. And he was fast in practice the eleventh meeting him and her coach Carl Edwards in the -- He goes around Casey -- that was for seven. Just real quick bat to hit Jeff Gordon in voting for. Or another Gordon has been running with he'll make it up a lot of -- is Robby Gordon started forty feet up the third. I don't."
" Might Jimmy johnsons of this -- a little bit on the free side going back. We had a dream racetrack. Tires okay."
" The first thirty laps. Mental strategy. Run as hard as she could possibly drive that car yesterday. More rain this morning so but the other thing my very. The way they -- these are. Retire him. Tea and watching retort -- 43 -- after later here you know I'm ready set their reach that they're thinking you know retirement you won your first race. Brad has fast he won his first race. I need -- win. -- like to get our first win it's you know what Darrell we had twelve races this year they different winners. Palin we're going to have that night -- the winner today let's go to the pit of the peachtree city Georgia driver there's Kristen."
" I just let it a lot of people are not talking about read this is our best. Your heart --"
" Keep in mind the last twelve spring race took -- been won by twelve different drivers and in the last nineteen years of the spring race here. We have one repeat winner. No one guy that got his first career win and its only win that one car director Marc -- junior a couple of years ago Martin he was very fast the track opened. For practice we'll Kurt -- that if they had pulled that Tim but mark started. Isn't into the top ten and hate of another car that is moving forward is that two car Kurt Busch won Paul Bowman forty of the forty thing. Our nickel back for example within about four. Conditioned golf. The thing about this year -- it's an -- do you think about it Mike bliss he -- it did that -- nationwide race at Charlotte. In James features card James is a very young independent guys don't really affiliation with cup car. Yesterday we had -- first time. Winner India can make camping World Series truck series if they everytime you turn around things like driven -- Pole winner first time bracelet winners very unusual year for that category for Brian Scott who took an Albertson's strutted in victory lane. Jeff Gordon and Joey look -- Here are discussing a position. Donald got -- loose getting down and -- thank you don't want nobody was looking back. She's a young quarterback you well here we go. We have a thriller battle for the league if you read sort of got -- it's not proven that double zero deficit and I'll -- double this lead Zambrano only test lab but he's. It he's got it biffle got loose off the corner on the bottom and that's. That Reed Sorenson has lived in 2000 and that have a boy. Three different leaders in this race here's how it came about. Like David got a little loose flat reading get a better world -- got to really strike they're free get a run on it goes down McNabb broke the momentum opens up with the rolled -- 43 indicate. I'm definitely a chance to make trying to make a pass here but -- the 43 so strong up off the corner. -- again. -- on the one more lap before NASCAR. Wins the competition yellow and it looks like everybody -- how to -- body. Everybody ran these thirty laps just as hard as they could protect tire wear down."
" If there was a concern I didn't see it -- amongst the drivers may be in the pit. Bubble tea there's a huge relief on a lot of people's. Cars back there because there were several -- just about to go a lap -- Tony Raines made a pit stop under green he is the only car laps down he'll be the free pass recipient. Great start to this race -- really embracing Eric to start between Brigham and and Montoya. Now we had to sixteen in the double zero. The 43 this -- good stuff."
" Guys."
" And now we gotta bring you pit road we're going to get to try out for the first time. The pit stalls at Dover have been lengthened it wrote it's been widened. As part of the capital improvement plan man up there at the south end of the top your screen in. An extra pit stall it's been added we -- have 43 pit stalls and extended pit wall. And that should make pit road. A better place to work for everybody little Hillary any -- place right now won't guarantee you they are all in the paper hinted the pit road. Here they come back."
" Three time winner Jimmie Johnson first that he is box Donovan 43. They're going to make a slight chance -- just -- the race -- won't take more and more -- it will -- more today and so he didn't want to take. It makes an advantage this early on Denver. I didn't look started yeah. All latest seconds behind the Chargers. In the driver has more than he had just been the stuff."
" The reason -- it is good they could tell they are out there aren't like they are not used to being up front want to make the market tightness Saturday loosen up. --"
" I'm pretty much -- everybody can. Are we big exception of that nineteen car -- have a moment to right -- and now Elliott Sadler. Who started eighteenth. And before he pitted he has climbed up with a two tire change in the but he'll battle Greg Biffle for them leaving. I think it'll be a battle alone -- think black male sports car. They have actually fallen back from his team. -- spot. That's not everyone else things or not it's. Really bad strategy you know. Good thing -- got to. 360. Yeah but they only got about 35 reported for the -- down. Sorenson once again going in the right spot today and Kurt Busch in the the lineup for Tuesday inside and they didn't knock on him because got them might but when you know you gotta. Be safe but. Then we -- right with the Jimmie Johnson putting the lead as they had returned three. That's the car buddy in the garage put your money you know lake city's -- to be -- consistent."
" And I -- what you can come off the bottle when you come off turn four underneath somebody like he's doing right here a long time his sixth. Off some grateful."
" not it just takes a little bit to finally prevailed upon it. They're very well the banking -- here and it jumps right out into the carpet Saturday you if you're not careful. The next free get in trouble. Right -- the screen. Kyle Busch comes up to join in the battle for the lead that makes Ford cars. Chasing the front spot with -- he wins his first race on my. The phone for. He -- first slam you're over running third right now. What a great week for that team you know there are you an hour talking the other day I don't think we made enough for the fact he."
" To win races and all three top series Sprint Cup nation."
" David Hillenbrand. Lap under caution but he is a -- had trouble views -- Iraq. And there's Elliott -- That restart. He Casey mears there -- seven Clark Devlin hit one of the fastest of the Richard Childress cars here all week he. Qualify them for."
" And Denny Hamlin. Blog all those practice laps trying to find a winning set up for the it's been awhile since handled. You know one thing we could hear a second ago he happened Casey mears heading into."
" There always what you make it stick to slow the speed that Florida. You actually work to throttle here probably more than any other racetrack we go to almost like you're racing -- and that's how hard it is to -- Get good traction Obama these owners. They played the when he has taken. Here's Edwards hasn't. On Kyle Busch coming up on. Has now led the most laps been in a position to win in four straight racism. And failed to close the DO route 3737. Card just play the heck out right front tire. Tony --"
" That tire took the fender and everything now now he was on pit road earlier he didn't coming I don't became -- 1130 -- did not the last time he was old pit road was -- didn't think yeah he came in early under green took tires. Apparently but stayed out a bit too long. Greens the only driver on track laps down so there will be no free pass. Mussina -- by itself and it just been just shattered her right front. Pace cars in and Greg Biffle would Jimmie Johnson. David -- Kurt Busch and Casey -- Until the start."
" Jeff Gordon is up to fourteen after all that Dale Earnhardt junior started 22 -- twenty. -- Ryan Newman. -- restart here has really really made a huge jump to the outside and and over the past couple a car class surprise. Sunday that the last restart just did it again. We'll start 170 mouth prowl in the turf during. And for the lead here comes Jimmie Johnson on the outside of that ball. Tower's guy got a fairly good. Travel on the house side pick Bertrand. Will Nicholson the Pacers just more that he is comfortable with their ability to hard to we're. In this event and the -- he still it's hard it is it was going to try to conserve his stuff for later. About Greg Biffle say then -- he is on par. Action speaks louder than word. Conservation you think you don't Ward Burton. In his twilight. You don't think of Greg Biffle. I think more of maybe it meant Kansas or some of those guys but. Greg Biffle is usually just -- the fans down. Kasey Kahne and that now. Card his card."
" The top five -- but these cars -- wants America these couple pit stops on what they're doing don't but they're. They're going backwards a lot of more pars -- good on the stars."
" During the 88 car started in the 22. The card that made the pit stop going to last Collison right now he is in the 29. Just in front of him Brian Vickers 83."
" And -- my he's been on both sides of the fence the first run you. Newman's suspicion and try to get back in the gas and get an air pressure and track bar adjustments but that has swung at the opposite. Then the car. -- extremely tight so he."
" Jeff Gordon was concerned about his right front tire. But since the pit stops -- as reported attire looks good he's got a."
" Suck it -- inside the -- point in my -- I don't I don't regular city racetrack on the circuit that's more engaged to drive in the when he saw --"
" Easiest part. Faulk coming up off the corner in this."
" Hopefully by. The 36. Skinner -- the first 52 laps and now. The garage. --"
" Aren't all over the place but yeah. When he gets under the problem you lose from the center -- didn't get in the gas that in my. Thank you on lap 45 to make a wedge adjustments he's still fighting a little bit elusive insider."
" And and -- that's the challenge here trying to put Howard down because when you come off the banking. You come up -- the straightaway the car -- a leap up for the air almost as it exits -- corners give a long career wheels again. Not even -- right rear tire."
" Which one's opponent straightaway and -- you sit -- the rear wheels almost from the bump and run."
" drop them -- corner here."
" They're the 44 car doesn't want to -- hitting. Car had a break qualifier runs qualified seventh right now he's been thirteen. His Carl Edwards and then not enough."
" And right -- Edwards is Clint Boyer."
" Richard Childress racing. That we had a great start."
" I thought they're all these cars are pretty evil looking right down."
" This this little group right here. You're just trying to push each other into the wall could have been involved with a -- and -- put a bumper. Forty year old Jeff -- And sat behind. Well they're racing hard for 31 behind well remember Mark Martin had to come back to pit road restart back at 35 and Daryl it's closer. The competition didn't you restart 35 it won't be loan that's partly sunny and leaders straightaway behind. Here's the eighth place race Jamie McMurray another driver who has run very well historically. At this racetrack -- Denny Hamlin and Carl Edwards. -- That's typical double I don't know with a regular I've -- hit a driver right around. The car -- the lunged for the wall I think you drive up that he'll that there was talking about -- the straightaway and you heard Jamie's age and when he came off the corner you can hear the Jackson wrap up a little -- that's wheels began. Look at this -- Montoya leading Robby Gordon dale junior. And David Reagan may have been swapping positions and lanes and it will in this pack for the last couple laps -- what ascent while ago spotter comes in years since we. The second straight away this is becoming get desperate group of British cars because Jimmy Johns. And to no surprise the car highest of the racetrack connect refused Robby Gordon. Run out of high in line. That group there that's where there."
" And now they're just thinking about hopefully it column should come and out where you can see they get back to the 48 car. Right now -- survive we try just do all you can do and that's we got a lot they're spread out near the front but when you get back in here from about forty at home back. The dog fight birds."
" He has no thanks -- in the cars better but the great thing."
" These things have a pool only eat. Cases every time. They can change -- blow them off but no particular time. The same thing happened characteristic but the problem is when you couple -- you're gaining more. And you could be --"
" Yeah I didn't and -- concrete racetrack with the -- complex country now when you build up more air pressure in the right side tires you're thinking anywhere else we go. So there might feel better without the ball or golf for a little while but it -- the ball for very long and I think that's what pat tries -- thank --"
" Jimmie Johnson with a lead of eight tenths of a second and Matt baddeley stayed pretty stable over the years left on a personal level he has saddens me. -- that's very comfortable and."
" You know that 48 car might -- might need to one of the few cars that we. People say after practice he's academy the only facts. A lot of time you'll see guys that practice Bruins about a car looks good keep an -- and sudden always perform like -- expected him that thing. And its good it's good."
" Sixth place Carl Edwards moving ahead of 2007 winner Martin Truex junior and a lot in the news this week about Truex is. I -- held a press conference to say. Nothing another -- in about two or three weeks everything should fall into place and he made it very clear. But contract to solidify his racing future release date. At -- and passing. Might -- go elsewhere you know we'll find out. My the sport pretty notorious for not about what you say what you don't -- Well even though this is the first year for them merger between Earnhardt tenacity. -- has been in this one car for about four years now and honestly I think -- feels like -- hit the ceiling with a story it's it's time for a change and I really believe he's going to be announced that he. Will be new and -- for 2000. I'm sure he's had a but he. We have to Carl Edwards sixth place nine. Nine seconds off the -- We win the NASCAR on fox half of the race to the -- without Carl Edwards. Having a number of other than zeroed in that win --"
" God I would've thought that but I will say this about dad he keeps saying that today was his heart even though he's not. Challenging for the lead right now is correlate very very comfortable never."
" Roush Fenway won the very first few races of 2000 that meant kids won at Daytona and auto club speedway they'd been shot out and Sprint Cup Series cars wins. Thousand -- since -- and Carl got a fourth place finish -- week in Charlotte but you know blows but mainly because of the weather. -- And here is Kasey -- And fourth fifth."
" The -- in the nearly David Reagan and started a slider. Okay."
" You know Martin Darrell a lot of those cars that stayed out that second Collison left 44 like David -- of like Greg Biffle Jimmie Johnson. Their within about twenty laps of what will have the big green flag. Pit stops since they did stay out. But -- you know if you go back -- FedEx understand in the race we always yet alone bring -- run -- like week. The company cautions early and then we always get into -- green flag cycle of fifths."
" friend -- ten of the top twelve drivers did not stop at lap 45. Exceptions Carl Edwards and you know Larry we've been talking about Childress quite quite often about his struggles they've been having -- right now if you looked over for a long. Playing for your putting -- night. Hard running pretty well right now."
" Stadium."
" Hey when you come on the corners street getting gas. --"
" Let's face it happens that's great advice -- you just can't be mad at Paul got 850 horsepower. He got a pretty apparent tire and less watching the thing that keep Ramon is how much how much he Franken that we over the last."
" I got -- race -- that's what you can't stand here you can't have that we will warm back right. Not much -- you looked pretty solid. You know what's amazing Darrell if you actually have to turn the car to provide -- straightaway destructive ways of -- agrees that this place that you actually hold the car up in -- track. Here on the straight away. Let's have a look at mark Martin's mark started 28 -- Larry and he's now just taken over thirteenth but remember. You really started back in 35 because of having to come back the pit road for damages under that last caution in your right. Yeah I think he's going to need it cost -- backed up. If we give them those green flag --"
" The cars you'll have. Austin to build around and watch those who makes -- right hand throws it over their -- that left when. These a lot of younger drivers know we talk about your car won't turn they need to watch Mark Martin it'll turn if you like that -- all around there."
" Mark Martin and quickest car I. On the racetrack."
" Michael waltrip the 55 car come in the pit road. Yeah he was struggling Larry got laughed. Hardest couldn't get off fearful. In this in this is -- because he was next to one of the cars that pitted on lap forty time."
" In the center of the."
" On the right side silence now."
" There's a caution on."
" in the middle of green flag pit stops now this all began about six laps ago when John Andretti slid through turn one and pancaked the wall in turn soon and then Larry I think people started to get a little gun shots started bringing their teams to pit road under green but could really benefited with those guys that decided to come to pit road -- Caution like Carl Edwards like Mark Martin. Now this did not bring out a caution when Andretti went straight up -- but it sure got people on pit road thinking. Winning -- change of tires so we've had a lot of green flag stops and some drivers are gonna get caught a lap down undated car I think it was one of the victims of daddy -- entire Downey came to pit road. The number of cars aren't what."
" We have got here Jimmy -- Good road when the caution came out I think he might. Possibly. State only left Matt Kenseth -- Ever -- but did not did not go in the in his -- just drove down pit road so that may have been a big right now. Up right back."
" with the 24 the F 48 and the seventeen home pulled off the same strategy there and they got out with the pace -- The pace car has picked up Carl Edwards as the leader Mark Martin Tony Stewart Ryan Newman and Kyle Busch. I'll be -- pace car owner and now guess what we'll have to learn. Who will be leading the race. Those guys that it's just barely made it back exactly stayed on the lead lap. I'm Jeff Gordon made his stop under green in the caution came out in the middle of that and we listened -- him."
" We do want -- art. I don't feel like it's. Going to be about it right behind them and it definitely definitely hey."
" It's. Yeah."
" They held -- right there wow."
" That was that hits and busting the dark now more than likely Jeff Gordon will come back the pit road he did play else. But the good news is he's going to be one of the few cars on the lead lap and that's something you practice you've got to practice -- because the pit crew normally they just go about their business I heard him do that before but that group was on a man they knew what to date it's gotta be harder to call inaudible in the -- to stop and change the game plan that's not the first -- state -- cart has -- I remember I didn't savings a couple of years ago he went ahead and made the pit stop. All they won the rights. But I'm sure Larry will have to come any problem I'm almost positive come back get his left side tires. -- pit road is closed out now you can see the red flag the end --"
" There. And let you know -- knows about his hero was little concerned about the wall sticking out here and -- McMahon the company is and everything else but. The slowest part of that turn here is right in the middle of it. It's daunting you're really kind of going pretty -- right here so it's easier to get the car jacked up and actually you don't -- room off -- me."
" So let's see who got caught a lap down Brian Vickers Kasey Kahne Greg Biffle. David Rubin Kurt Busch and Martin Truex perhaps got caught a lap down."
" Now remember -- or didn't close the green flag pit stops for a lot of cars even the cars that pitted a lap forty not remember I talked about. They're easily count bushes where remember the straight plays -- bank here these two cars are -- out of fuel."
" That eleven car Larry Pitt kids that -- it take till later he's about outfield that eleven car has late night they have nightmares about them out a few. There are still all three cars on the track that have not pitted since lap 32 Denny Hamlin that we just showed you Tony Stewart and Ryan Newman. And you can."
" See what he's doing they're getting down on the flat because the fuel pick up -- the right work harder when you're this loan you see how much strictly thank. The the only run away from the pick up so that's everything they have their own the plan. And in good news for those who has ever -- is finally opened."
" Let's go first event Escondido California is just huge Patterson waiting. He wins again this can't 88 pounds. Love you already inserted as fourteen cars doing sitting. The turn banner in the center of the -- just wasn't cutting like he needed. Yes he's our radio. Adjustment for Stewart he can -- and third --"
" Mark Martin citizen card and tied in the end of the run but don't know really just didn't have a round in the right rear worn tires. Normally I think we're extremely close on fuel the first thing they know -- caution came out beautiful meanwhile Carl Edwards gaining more I had this car was right on Friday simply aren't. Saturday they're making and I can't."
