Pit trouble puts pole-sitter Reutimann a lap down
It was Lap 158 and it looked like David Reutimann was on his way to keeping the No. 00 Aaron's Dream Machine Toyota in the Top 5 but a mishap on pit road caused him to go a lap down after serving his penalty.
Taking advantage of his mistake — Jeff Gordon, who has been at the front of the pack since starting in second position on the outside pole.
With just 89 laps left in the race, Gordon can make it on one more pit stop and he is hoping to check Texas Motor Speedway off his list of tracks where he has never won.
Trailing close is former race-winner Matt Kenseth in the No. 17 DeWalt Ford. And as I write this a caution flag has come out caused by Robby Gordon's blown engine.
That gave David Reutimann the Lucky Dog pass and puts him back on the lead lap. He said his car was good and thinks he can get back out front.
