Brad Keselowski leads at the halfway point in the SpongeBob SquarePants 400 at Kansas Speedway under caution. Keselowski leads after the race was red flagged for 2 hours and 16 minutes due to rain.
The red flag was displayed on Lap 98 for rain while Martin Truex Jr. led.
Truex has led a race high 61 laps, which exceeds his previous high this season of 23 at Martinsville Speedway.
At halfway, the top 10 is Keselowski, Truex, Denny Hamlin, Kurt Busch, Kevin Harvick, Kyle Larson, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Jamie McMurray, Kasey Kahne and Joey Logano
Logano, the polesitter, was penalized on pit road prior to the red flag when his gas man was caught over the wall too early without his gas can.
Erik Jones, in his first official Sprint Cup start substituting for Kyle Busch in the No. 18, runs 14th.
The race has been slowed five times for 30 laps by the yellow flag, including post delay caution laps. Outside of a competition yellow on Lap 25, four incidents occurred on Laps 9, 94, 119 and 130. The first two involved BK Racing cars, as Jeb Burton and JJ Yeley spun out independently of each other on the first and Burton wrecked by himself in the second, which led into the rain delay.
David Ragan spun out and onto the frontstretch grass to bring out the fourth caution and Matt Kenseth spun from a flat tire on Lap 130.
