LAP 123: MIXED RESULTS THUS FAR FOR ROUSH FENWAY FORDS

Kenseth blows up. David Ragan blows up.

That’s two of the five Roush Fenway Fords out early.

Wonder what teammates Biffle (leader) and Edwards (15th place) are thinking as they complete 110 laps of the 285-lap race?

Maybe the Fords caught the Vegas Crud like the Toyotas had on Friday.

And Kurt’s Dodge.

At about the 115-lap mark, Kurt might have lost an engine cylinder. He fell to 16th after 120 laps.

While Biffle builds a 2.4-second lead over Gordon, Kyle is 11th.

On lap 123, yellow is out for debris apparently from Mark Martin who radioed in that he blew  up. That's a Chevy.

Leaders pit under yellow.

Johnson gains two spots on pit road.

After pit stop cycle: Johnson, Gordon, Biffle, Jamie McMurray for Roush, Burton and Stewart. That's two Chevys, a Ford and two more Chevys.

Kyle is ninth..

Getting ready to go green.

10 lead changes so far. 26 cars on lead lap. five cars out of the race.

Could the ban on nearly all testing be contributing to the engine problems?
