Coming up to the next lot of stos/driver changes.
The Skaife car looks strong.
Rumour has it that Murphy will have to 5 stop, whereas Skaife and Ambrose will be 4 stopping.
Seto/canto look good.
Ingall is there, or there abouts.
Ellery looks good.
The sprint to the flag is going to be full on

Safety Car out...Tags has buried it in the Chase bunker.
Reports of a misfire in the Murphy car, he is losing time to Skaife

I hope none of the drivers hit them. That reminds me, though...at the Rolex Sports Car race at the Glen two weeks ago, right towards the end, the race winner, Wayne Taylor, ran over a woodchuck on the backstraight leading to the "bus-stop" chicane, and still went on to win the race.

Murphy reports a "fluff" in the engine at peak revs. 70% of this track is at full revs
