Fire in the pits!
Looks like the #11 of Kanaan has a problem.....lots of water being thrown on the fire; several teams pitched in, including those of Briscoe, Castroneves and Patrick

.............and that explains it; the fuel closure wasn't fully engaged and a little bit of ethanol hit the engine cowling and that started it...................Kanaan's already horrid season just gets worse and worse

Race control reporting Kanaan is unhurt, but he will be checked at the infield care centre...............he appears to be okay, though. :)
