Heavy mist has brought out a caution at Atlanta Motor Speedway for the second time in 25 laps.
NASCAR Atlanta Update: Race Under Caution Due To Heavy Mist
Race leader Matt Kenseth was battling with teammate Carl Edwards just before the caution flag flew at lap 200 (125 laps to go), but Kenseth was able to hold off the No. 99 car.
Mist began to fall during the caution we mentioned in our previous update (for David Gilliland’s car), and it extended that yellow flag by several laps.
The race went back to green and Kenseth took the lead, but the mist returned shortly thereafter. Jet dryers are out on the track trying to resume the action now.
After pit stops at lap 202 (the most notable development was Jeff Gordon dropping five positions during his pit stop), here’s the running order with 123 laps to go:
- JJ Yeley (stayed out under last pit stop)
- Landon Cassill (stayed out under last pit stop)
- Matt Kenseth
- Carl Edwards
- Kevin Harvick
- Jimmie Johnson
- Clint Bowyer
- Denny Hamlin
- Brad Keselowski
- Jeff Gordon
- David Ragan
- Jamie McMurray
