Thanks for joining us for our live commentary from Texas. Now stick around for all the post-race coverage!
Rain stole a shot from Edwards to be in the final four last year at Phoenix, but now it does just the opposite one year later at Texas.

Green flag with 64 laps to go.
Penalty

Dillon claims the only reason he got loose was because Harvick sucked down on his door "tighter than anyone did all night."

Video
