Radio traffic btwn. Patrick and her engineer indicating that everything seems okay, though she did report "some weird feelings" after going off-course(most likely dirt on the tires....)......

Back to green!!!
Restarts at Mid-Ohio are on the pitstraight; Castroneves leads, Dixon 2nd.

Watching the television broadcast, you can see the top-5 have broken away from the rest of the field

Race control reporting that every team has lost the television feed; telemetry and radio still up and functioning
