Yellows breed yellows............we're not even 50 laps in and the caution's back out for a 1-car accident involving the #5 of Oriol Servia; spun exiting turn 2 and he ended up on the inside wall on the backstretch

Green's back out.........green's back out.............and just as fast, the caution comes back out for a spin through the infield by the #19 of Mario Moraes; fortunately, he saved it and got back out on track
