Top-5 unchaged after lap 137; Andretti passes Patrick for 8th as she had a bit of a tank-slapper moment to avoid an accident and it costs her big as she fell from 8th down to 11th

Carpenter overshoots his pitstall!! Viso entered the wrong stall and Carpenter had to dive into the pitlane in front of him.......!!!! :evil: :shock:

Rice smacks the turn 2 wall and brings out the caution......and he is furious as he gets out of his car

Top-5 at the moment are Wheldon, Kanaan, Mutoh, Castroneves and Briscoe; several cars were in the process of pitting as the caution came out........if everything shakes out, Dixon should retake the lead from Wheldon
