Byron leading that inside lane chased by DiBenedetto
Three to go...
That move kinda killed the inside line's momentum.
Three-wide through Turn 4...
Blaney holding on from Keselowski, Byron and Almirola.
Now we have two more-organized lines.
Byron up to fourth in the #24 Chevy
Here we go, Blaney goes low, Kez follows. Here comes Almirola!
The inside lane hasn't really got its act together, Larson leads it but is falling back.
Blaney is back on the top now with Keselowski in tow.
Blaney, Kez, Preece and Larson did not stop though
Blaney is picking and choosing his line to stay out front.
Blaney pulls in across the bows of Keselowski in a planned Penske move.
Green flag
And we go green, with nine laps until the end of Stage 2. Expect some fireworks!
Blaney leads from Keselowski, Ryan Preece and Kyle Larson.
Kurt Busch and Wallace pit for more repairs. One to go until the restart.
Off track
Hamlin is told they think his refueling issue has been solved.
DiBenedetto just beats Byron out of the pits.
Four tires for everyone it seems.
Pit stop
Here come the leaders to pitlane.
Off track
Hamlin will take four tires here in a bid to get back into the game.
DiBenedetto is about to lead his 50th lap!
Crash
Wow, that was some spin by Kligerman, who gives Mears some hand signals on the way back to the pits.
Parker Kligerman is involved too.
Yellow flag
Casey Mears is the offender.
Lots of smoke at Turn 1, just ahead of the pack.
YELLOW!
The DiBenedetto train appears to have bailed out of the madness.
Hamlin asks for strategic info: "The Toyotas are going to win the stage with fuel only," he's told.
DiBenedetto weaves around, trying to find a gap. Remember, he's the leader here!
Now it's starting to stack up a little...
Hamlin goes a lap down... If there's a yellow now, that would be painful.
And they are with them.
The lead pack is closing on the "Ford" pack, you know... Interesting!
One thing is for sure today, DiBenedetto is going to have led a chunk of laps!
Chase Elliott still going strong
The "Ford" pack is up to a 16-car draft, that's got to be going quicker than the leaders, who number six.
We are over halfway through this stage now.
