NASCAR - Pocono: With all the really, really out-of-sequence cars having pitted, Gordon is now re-established in the lead.
Team-mate Earnhardt is one second behind, having passed Logano, who is now falling away.
Amazingly, it's Johnson who's appeared in fourth. Remember he was last and lapped after an early puncture. He's on a totally different pit schedule to anyone else, but he's also flying.
Early lead contender Harvick now passes Johnson for fourth, and Kurt Busch is gaining too. Busch is the main man on the slightly off-cue strategy.
Polesitter Larson now runs 13th, and we've got 70 laps to go.

NASCAR - Pocono: Seems Nemechek has promised he'll get revenge on Kahne. Ex-IndyCar/NASCAR star turned Dakar man Robby Gordon scoffs at this:
"Nemechek vows payback on Kahne? We all know what that means: He won't do a damn thing."

Green flag
NASCAR - Pocono: Back to green on lap 56 of 160 and Gordon has no trouble holding his lead.
NASCAR - Pocono: Race order now:
1 Gordon; 2 Logano; 3 McMurray; 4 Vickers; 5 Harvick; 6 Earnhardt; 7 Hamlin; 8 Bowyer; 9 Larson; 10 Edwards; 11 Biffle; 12 Kurt Busch; 13 Kahne; 14 Menard; 15 Kenseth.
Strategy-wise, everyone up to Busch-ish is on one set of tactics, everyone else is doing something different.
It's less mixed-up than the average IndyCar street race at least, and it's unlikely that Carlos Huertas will win it on fuel mileage.

NASCAR - Pocono: Most of the leaders choose to stay out, but pitters include Stewart, Keselowski and Ambrose.
And we highlighted Ambrose there because he somehow arrived in the Richard Petty Motorsports pit pretty much backwards and had his service at 90 degrees to the angle you'd expect.

NASCAR - Pocono: Busch has opened out a massive 5s lead over Truex, while Gordon has put an important pass on Logano to become best of those on a 'normal' strategy. He's up to third outright, having just passed Kenseth.
Now Busch makes his second stop on lap 44 of 160. Truex and Kenseth come in too.
That will mean Gordon leads Logano, McMurray and Kahne.
