So that's a wrap from here in Martinsville. We're heading to the car with Clint Bowyer! Thanks for your company.
His prize is the famous Grandfather clock that all winners at Martinsville receives.
Bowyer led 215 laps today, and now he wants a beer from the crowd!
He's up on his car's roof, and "roof-dives" into his crew.
Amazing scenes – I think he's rather excited about this one!
Bowyer almost shunts on his slow-down lap, performing a huge series of donuts at Turn 3!
Kyle Busch is second, ahead of Blaney, Truex, Harvick, Logano and Bowman.
Clint Bowyer wins the STP 500 at Martinsville, breaking his 190-race losing streak. What a story!
The #51 hits the wall, but brings it back to the pits, no caution.
Keselowski tumbling backwards in the closing laps. Allmendinger up to eighth.
Heavy traffic for the leaders, these are tense moments for Bowyer. 190 races since his last win, remember.
Bowman clears Kes for seventh. Nice finish to the race for top Chevy driver.
Bowyer looking at a lot of traffic ahead of him, Kyle Busch just about one second behind.
Kyle Busch looks set for another near-miss at a Cup victory, how frustrated is he going to feel if Bowyer hangs on?
Lap 475 - 25 to go and Bowyer maintains a 1 second lead over Kyle Busch. Top five remain the same

Lap 456 - Trevor Bayne made contact with the wall and is smoking but he makes into the pits and no caution.
Lap 450 - 50 Laps to go and Bowyer maintains a 1.2 second lead over Kyle Busch. Blaney, Truex and Kevin Harvick.
Shout out to Alex Bowman, whose driven a stout race – up into eighth.
Here was that moment, caught from Harvick's onboard...
Wonder if we'll see any post-race discussion between Denny Hamlin and Kevin Harvick and the blatant brake-check Harvick pulled, which damaged the front of Hamlin's car – which caused him to make an extra pitstop?
190 races since Bowyer's last win... Is today the day that ends?
Lap 425 - 75 laps to go with Bowyer leading Kyle Busch, Blaney, Truex, Jr., Harvick, Keselowski, Allmendinger, Logano, Bowman, Menard
Lap 420 - From Jim Utter: 
Interesting stat -  16 cars on the lead lap but no cars are one lap down
Top six covered by just 5s, and we've got the leaders coming up on traffic...
Lap 412 - Kurt Busch goes wide in the turn and falls back to 10th.
Lap 400 - 100 laps to go with Bowyer leading Kyle Busch, Blaney, Truex and Harvick.
You get the feeling that Blaney has got something for the leaders ahead of him...
Apart from Kyle Busch in second and Truex, it's wall-to-wall Fords up front.
Here's a flashback to the clash that caused the most-recent yellow...
Lap 390 - Almirola is penalized for speeding and will now start 14th

Lap 389 - Bowyer exits the ptis with the lead followed by Kyle Busch, Blaney, Truex, Harvick, Almirola, Kurt Busch, Logano, Keselowski, and Menard. 

all four Stewart-Haas cars are running in the top seven. This would be the second time this season all four cars finish in the top-10 if they stay where they run now.
