1/2 way leader

[Chris]

Anyone know (for sure) who lead at 1/2 way.  We give bonus points in my fantasy race game for the 1/2 way leader..??
I now a yellow came out about then, and wasn't sure who lead what with pit stops and all.
Anyone record tha race that might verify it.
1/2 way came and went and I missed it
If anyone could help me out   apprec.

Dern.. wish I had it recorded. 
I kind of question both of them....
Guess I'll have to go with nascar.com since it is the official results I use for the game..

and none of us had Hornish in the game this week...

The caution is officially listed as coming out at lap 100, so pit stops likely started after that.  I've looked at a couple other sources that all show the 2 at the front when lap 100 was in the books.

[Chris]

yeah..  most of the time when the yellow comes out the cars don't pit the first time by.. mostly because the pace car catches the leader the field hasn't had time to bunch up,.. so usually they end up pitting the second time by.
SO that woukld mean that still at the end of lap 100 Busch would be leading.  They they'd pit, and Hornish would lead on 101.
Maybe someone will have it recorded...
I don't think it's going to change the pay-out any this week,.. but the segment and overall are so close it could matter
usually I am always watching, and make note of it... Had a waterline blow off of a rent house, and was on the phone solving that problem right about when 1/2 way rolled around... WE had to leave so I recorded the rest of the race and it started on lap 115.

Maybe I'll get lucky and someone will know for sure.  Points so close just like to be positive if possible.  I DO feel better about using jayski since several places have same thing lsited

Well, Kahne was leading when the yellow came out...he lead 96-99.  Hornish stayed out, didn't pit at all during the caution, so he was the leader on the track.

If Busch was listed as the lap 100 leader, it was only because his pit stall was after the start/finish line, and Kahne's was before the start/finish line...
