Harvick tries to pass Elliott on the inside. Doesn't work out.
Truex has passed Kyle Busch for the top Toyota honor in eighth.
Bowman attacks Larson for fourth, and makes a smart around-the-outside pass.
We now have a three-way battle for the lead.
Harvick has run down second placed Elliott. So much for his loose wheel concerns.
Logano has passed Kurt Busch, but it's hardly the pace you'd expect from an erstwhile leader on fresher tires. He's 18th.
The battle at the front continues to rage.
Logano is totally stalled in 19th right now.
Harvick reports a "loose wheel"
 
Elliott is playing with his racing lines as he looks to pounce on Keselowski in traffic.
Leaders Keselowski and Elliott are 0.4s apart. Traffic ahoy!
Crash
Bubba Wallace hits Ryan Preece, but both emerge unscathed.
Logano is back to 19th now.
Kyle Busch has rather stealthily crept into the top eight.
Some great racing in the pack, as Logano begins his charge.
Bowman switches places with Blaney for fifth.
Elliott battles Harvick for second.
Keselowski gets it done at the green.
Green flag
Stage 2 is underway!
Green flag
Here is your restart order: Keselowski, Elliott, Larson, Harvick, Bowman, Blaney.
Off track
Keep an eye out for Truex in this stage, see if his mesmeric rise from the back continues or if he plateaus as he comes up against the class of the field.
Quote
A rueful Logano says: "I've got a lot of cars in front of me now." Yup! You got that right, Joey.

So our new race order is Keselowski leading Elliott.
As expected, Logano and Byron had to stop – taking two earlier was a gamble that won Logano the stage, but is looking quite costly now.
Pit stop
Logano pits. Keselowski and Co stay out!
Pit stop
Now we might see some strategy, because surely Logano has to pit as he only took two tires last time. Elliott and Co might stay out, as they only put about 5 laps on their four fresh tires. If they do all pit, then Kurt Busch might lead, after his strategy gamble during the last yellow! Let's find out.
Your top five is: Logano, Keselowski, Elliott, Larson and Harvick.
Logano gets the jump on Keselowski, but Brad stays beneath him! He has to slip back though.
Green flag
Green flag! One-lap dash to end the stage. This could be hectic.
It's going to be a one-lap shootout to the end of the first stage.
Pit stop
Kurt Busch the highest-placed pitter, so he won't pit at the end of the stage. That will likely put him out front.
Pits are open, so we'll likely only get a one- or two-lap restart.
Just a handful of laps until the end of this stage. That's the third caution of the day so far.
Bowman passes Byron too.
Yellow flag
CAUTION #3 - Quin Houff has contacted the wall.
Elliott passes Byron for fourth.
Elliott is now down to fifth, the lowest he's been all day.
Logano's two-tire decision is looking smart here.
Keselowski claims third, as Byron falls to fifth behind Harvick.
