Gordon has led most of the laps in the first quarter of the race.
Due to all the rain this weekend, there are cracks in the surface and the rain has been seeping up through it. Denny Hamlin, Casey Mears, Dale Jr, Sam Hornish Jr and Reed Sorenson were all victims off this. Hamlin crashed in a single car incident while the others were in a 4-car accident. Mears' car got hit from behind and Hornish hit him and turned him over.
Strongest cars are Gordon, Edwards, Johnson, Ky. Busch and Kasey Kahne.
There's a rain delay right now. Jimmie Johnson leads at the moment. The rain has stopped and they're trying to get the race track dried. At this point, Nascar is trying to get the race to halfway.
