NASCAR - Chicagoland: Back to green on lap 37. Jimmie Johnson leads Kyle Busch as they emerged from the pits first. Logano is down to sixth.
NASCAR - Chicagoland: Johnson has moved into a three-second lead over new pursuers Matt Kenseth and Brad Keselowski.

Logano has just passed Kyle Busch for fourth.
NASCAR - Chicagoland: Green flag pitstops start, with Johnson and Keselowski in first.

The five-time champion has a lug nut problem and the pitstop takes nearly 20s. That's going to hurt.
NASCAR - Chicagoland: Turns out it's even more painful - looks like there might not have been a lugnut problem at all, but the NASCAR observer thought there was and held the car.
NASCAR - Chicagoland: Johnson is now fifth, with Kenseth leading by a second over Keselowski, Logano and Kyle Busch following those stops.

Johnson is politely peeved over the radio. Crew chief Chad Knaus mollifies him. It's all very civilised at Hendrick.
NASCAR - Chicagoland: From monitoring various teams' radio traffic, it seems the next band of rain is either 15 minutes away, half an hour away, not coming until 15 minutes before the scheduled end, or won't be a problem at all...
NASCAR - Chicagoland: We're 100 laps into a race that hasn't yet come alive. Here's the order:

1 Kenseth; 2 Keselowski; 3 Logano; 4 Johnson; 5 Kyle Busch; 6 Gordon; 7 Earnhardt; 8 Truex; 9 Logano; 10 Bowyer.
NASCAR - Chicagoland: Yellow out for rain, just as newcomer Cole Whitt spins the Swan Toyota.
NASCAR - Chicagoland: The field comes into the pits as the rain starts to properly hammer down and the crowd reach for their coats.
NASCAR - Chicagoland: The rain has passed over and the jet dryers are back on track. But it's going to be a long wait as there's a lot of water to clear, and it may well have to continue under the lights local time.

With the European evening drawing to a close, AUTOSPORT Race Centre Live is going to say farewell for the weekend too. Check the site later for the latest on events at Chicagoland.

Thanks for your company this weekend, we'll be back for a special American edition of Race Centre Live from Austin and New Hampshire next Sunday.
