Green flag stops commenced on lap 48, and a tire that came from the stall of Aric Almirola and came to a stop in the frontstretch grass area brought out the first caution of the race on lap 49. Jimmie Johnson, who made it across the start/finish line on pit road before Truex crossed the line on the track, remained on the lead lap and assumed the lead after he opted to stay out when Truex pitted. Kevin Harvick, who worked his way up to eighth after starting the race from the rear end of the field for an unapproved adjustment, didn't beat Truex back to the line and was trapped a lap down for much of the race.Bianchi Jordan Kevin Harvick's promising day unravels on pit road https://www.sbnation.com/nascar/2016/9/19/12967358/2016-nascar-chicago-kevin-harvick-rodney-childers-stewart-haas-racing SBNation.com SB Nation September 19, 2016 Joliet, Illinois September 18, 2016 The race restarted on lap 56.
