That's pretty good for Matt,

JJ and Knaus have something up their sleeve to get a good run here this year. Car is looking good.

Forgot to mention that somehow Jimmy Spencer didn't hit anything. NASCAR now put him on the 5-minute clock and won't give him a new set of tires.

Spencer walking back to the hauler, but despite the disappointment of missing the Brickyard 400 because of Badyear (BRING BACK HOOSIER!), he's still signing autographs.

Check that "won't make the field" - Helton now saying that Spencer can change the tires because he did not take the green flag, which they are. The 5-minute clock didn't start until Truex (the next car on the grid) took the green flag.

Speaking of Truex, he put down a 181.587 (7th of 24; 1st of 7 field-fillers). Rocket out there now.
