Part of the toyota dominance you were talking about. Lets join matt yocum. Matt the whole jgr fleet trying to be the first to win. Kyle, walk us through the final lap and a half how you were going to try to set up to go for the win. Denny denny took my idea and did it sooner than i did and for me to jump up there, i dont know that i would have been able to protect my spot. I think he had too much momentum.

Here it comes. Right side corner, clear. All right, get up. Now its a different story. Thats faster than the 22. I believe Brad Keselowski might be able to catch the 18. If kyle busch and keselowski battle, that could even bring Austin Dillon and ryan blaney into play. Theyre not that far back. What a great day for the 3 car and 21 both. What a great show they have put on today. Im proud of them boys. Kevin harvick in the same straightaway with them. Seven laps to go. A third of the second is the lead. Whoa kyle busch changed his line. Now hes got a new player in this lane. Hes got Brad Keselowski behind him. He changed his line. It completely oh, sideways. To the start finish line, finally straightened it up. That was michael mcdowell. We stay green. Now its not seconds, its car three car lengths back. A lot of decisionmaking by these two drivers right now. He has to play the blocking game. Keselowski is too fast. He cant hold him back. Its not over yet. Hes going to fight him hard on
