CAUTION'S OUT!

All that high-wire running just bit Marco in the ***.......both Marco and RHR crash into the turn 3 wall.......and unless the safety crews are miracle workers, Scott Dixon just got gifted a victory, his third of the season..........

Watching the video feed, that was a vicious hit into the wall for little ole' Marco; it looks as though RHR went into 3 too low, hit the transition btwn. track and track apron.........and that's all she wrote; they touch wheels and off to the wall they went............

White flag and caution waving........this race will end under caution!

Well done Dixon. :woohoo: :clap: I'm not sure that he would have had enough fuel to finish the race without another pitstop before the crash bringing out the yellow flag at the end of the race.

Very close to a crash in the race between Danica and Briscoe. Just imagine if them two collided again. :rap:
