170 laps to go at Atlanta. Kurt Busch presently leads the race followed by Logano.

The rain has things on hold at Atlanta. We shall have to wait to run this one under the lights or maybe tomorrow if it gets too late.

Rain delay might be why the stands are only 40% full?

 

[Retroram52]

Harvick has a fast car and is closing in on Keselowski. Meanwhile Kurt Busch is driving away.

 

[Retroram52]

Harvick has passed Keselowski and Busch for the lead. He is dialed in right now.

 

[Retroram52]

Kyle gets by Kurt for third.

 

[Retroram52]

Harvick and Elliott are both in the pits.

 

[Retroram52]

Hamlin yields the lead, enters the pits, and Harvick resumes the lead.

 

[Retroram52]

95 laps left. They'll get this one in, if it rains again.

 

[Retroram52]

Harvick in the pits with under 75 to go.

 

[Retroram52]

Only eight cars on the lead lap at Atlanta. Kyle Busch was the first car a lap down but not anymore.

 

[Retroram52]

Elliott has moved into 4th place.

 

[Retroram52]

HArvick is reeling in Hamlin and will pass him for the lead again.

 

[Retroram52]

With 50 to go, Harvick leads Hamlin and Keselowski.

 

[Retroram52]

7 cars on the lead lap with 45 to go.

 

[Retroram52]

Trevor Bayne goes up in smoke and the caution is out.

 

[Retroram52]

Oh crap, Bubba got involved somehow and has some front end damage.

 

[Retroram52]

23 laps left and this could be a shoot-out of sorts. Since the lights are already on, no concern for any issues with OT except maybe rain.

 

[Retroram52]

10 laps to go. Let us see if Harvick can nail down the win.

 

[Retroram52]

Harvick takes it slowing down! Wow, I thought there was a caution waving because he was slowing down. Now that is winning in a dominant fashion.

Congrats to Kevin, early win and a place in the playoffs!
