Lap 111 -- Kurt Busch has now gone a lap down and needs a caution to get that free pass.
Lap 108 -- Jimmie Johnson up to eighth after passing Brad Keselowski. And I haven't forgot about Carl Edwards, it's just he's up by more than a second so there isn't much to write.
Lap 104 -- We thought we would see some cautions tonight at Richmond, but so far we've only had one in the first 100 laps, and NASCAR scheduled it. Doesn't matter though ... some pretty exciting racing taking place on the 0.75-mile oval in Richmond.

Lap 116- 2nd caution out for Kurt Busch spiining. he would have had the free pass, but he was the caution.
Joey Logano gets the free pass and is back on the lead lap.
Lap 113 -- Jimmie Johnson is on fire right now. Up to sixth after passing AJ Allmendinger. Johnson is up 21 positions ... pretty impressive.

Lap 141 -- don't see anything preventing them from getting all 400 laps in. Looks like the next cell should stay to the north of the track.

Lap 145 -- Interesting stat: In 15 starts, Carl Edwards has led 236 laps at Richmond. Tonight, Edwards has led 114 and counting. My guess is he will eclipse 236.
