Briscoe pits from mid-pack............

.......and we have a spin exiting turn 4; looks like Dominguez, who had earlier damaged the rear-wing in the Keyhole(why Race Control didn't call him in earlier is anybody's guess.......
) and it broke heading towards turn 4
Full-course caution...........

....and everyone's in for their stops..........most everybody gets fuel and tires; Quattro exited w/the air hose still attached and stops mid-lane
Wilson takes over the lead, but there is a bit of strategy, as several drivers, including Briscoe and Moraes, pitted just before the caution and are on differing strategies than the frontrunners
Top-5..........
Wilson, Wheldon, Camara, Briscoe and Carpenter
