Lap 365 — Kyle Busch gets past Greg Biffle for third place.

Lap 362 — Kasey Kahne leads Denny Hamlin by a little more than one second.

Lap 360 — Forty laps to go.

Lap 358 — After the stops, Kasey Kahne, Denny Hamlin, Greg Biffle, Kyle Busch and Brad Keselowski are the leaders. The miscue on his pit stop has dropped Jimmie Johnson to 13th place, one lap down.

Lap 355 — Kevin Harvick Jeff Gordon, Ryan Newman and others pit. Jimmie Johnson will have to serve a stop-and-go penalty.

Lap 354 — Kasey Kahne, Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jimmie Johnson and Denny Hamlin pit. Johnson leaves his stall with the gas can still attached.

Lap 353 — Kyle Busch and Greg Biffle bring their cars to pit road for what could be the last time tonight.

Lap 350 — Fifty laps to go. Greg Biffle has passed Dale Earnhardt Jr. for fourth place.

Lap 347 — Jimmie Johnson gets around Dale Earnhardt Jr. for third place. Earnhardt has a couple of pieces of trash on the grille of his Chevrolet.

Lap 345 — Martin Truex Jr. is reporting oil on the backstretch. As it just so happens, he’s in 11th place, the first car a lap down. He couldn’t possibly have an ulterior motive for wanting a caution, could he?

Lap 341 — After losing power on the track, Mark Martin heads to the garage.
