Johnny Sauter spun out in turn 4 but got it going in the right direction before the leaders made their way to him but lost it again in turn 2 to force the day's seventh caution on lap 129. Had Sauter not forced the caution he would have been two laps down. Burt Myers earned the free pass to return to the lead lap.

***
The third caution of the race has flown on lap 72 as debris in the front stretch has forced the race to slow. T,.J. Bell was the beneficiary of the caution and will be back on the lead lap. Hamlin still holds the lead, followed by Starr, Scott, Crawford and Peters.
***
Hermie Sadler found the outside wall of the backstretch to force the caution on lap 51. Sadler and Rob Fuller made contact and both cars are now in the garage area. Denny Hamlin has the lead on the restart on lap 58 followed by David Starr, Brian Scott, Rick Crawford and Timothy Peters.
