Clint Bowyer leads with Jimmie Johnson running second at the time of the delay. The highest running playoff contender is Joey Logano. He runs in fourth at the time of the stoppage. By virtue of his victory last weekend in Kansas, Logano is locked into the Championship 4 at Pheonix.
After starting in the back of the field for the second straight week, Martin Truex, Jr. is now running fifth. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver started at the rear of the field due to fail pre-race inspection. Playoff board leader, Kevin Harvick got into the wall around lap 29.
