02/18/2007 - Daytona Beach, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Despite falling all the way back to 40th place on lap 82, Tony Stewart is leading the 2007 Daytona 500 after 150 of 200 scheduled laps. The No.20 Home Depot Chevrolet is 0.165 seconds ahead of second-place Kurt Busch.
Kyle Busch, Martin Truex Jr. and Carl Edwards make up the top-five through 375 miles.
Defending Daytona 500 and Nextel Cup Series champion Jimmie Johnson is 22nd.
Surprise pole winner David Gilliland brought the field to the green flag to begin the 49th running of the Daytona 500. And early on he refused to give up the lead. Through 10 laps he was still the leader. Behind him were Joe Gibbs Racing teammates Stewart and Denny Hamlin.
Moving backwards was front row starter Ricky Rudd, who fell all the way to 20th by lap 15. Moving up the charts was Jeff Gordon, who won the second Gatorade Duel at Daytona on Thursday, but received a penalty in post-race inspection and was forced to start from the back of the field.
Boris Said spun on lap 17 in turn two to bring out the first caution flag of the afternoon and send everyone down pit road for adjustments, new tires and fuel.
Kurt Busch won the race of pit road to become the second race leader of the day. Busch was joined at the top of the charts by his brother Kyle Busch on lap 25. Then Stewart made his way around the outside of both brothers to take the lead on lap 49.
Through green flag pit stops beginning on lap 62 and Stewart maintained the race lead with Kurt Busch glued to his bumper. The pair held more than a two- second margin over third-place Newman. The huge lead was short-lived as Newman led a four-car charge to reel the leaders in.
Kyle Petty brought out the day's second caution flag on lap 79. On the pit stop, Stewart stalled his car, got behind a pit-road accident involving Robby Gordon and Gilliland and came out 40th.
Stewart's error and a great pit stop by the No.29 RCR Chevrolet crew gave the lead to Kevin Harvick. Not for long, however as both Kurt and Kyle Busch quickly teamed up to pass him for the lead.
On lap 116 Kyle Busch reported that his "tires were gone" and he began to drop back through the top-10. Hamlin quickly filled the void behind Kurt Busch in the second position as the field reached 120 laps and prepared for another round of green-flag pit stops.
Kurt Busch and Hamlin pitted together and came out first and second, respectively. Of note was Rudd moving into third place and Stewart returned to the top-10 for the first time since his pit-road problems.
Stewart cracked the top-five on lap 140 and slipped past Hamlin for fourth a lap later. He was flying towards the leaders. Two laps later he was third behind Kurt and Kyle Busch. The No.20 moved to the outside and Truex Jr. moved with him and grabbed the lead on lap 150.
