Dixon reassumes the lead, but he and Wheldon have about a 13-second lead over Castroneves in 3rd

Caution's out as there is a 2-car crash exiting turn 2; Viso and Scheckter are involved, sliding into the infield....from the video feed, it looks as though Viso touched Scheckter and sent both spinning around; it doesn't look like they hit the wall or anyone else but it looks like Scheckter is beached on the grassy infield at Kansas

It won't matter; Scheckter is out of his car and he is done for the day.........

....and we are at halfway; drivers see the furled yellow flag crossed with a furled green, signifying halfway(normally it is crossed green flags at halfway but we are currently under caution)


Race control reporting that most of the frontrunners are pitting for fuel and tires, taking advantage of the yellow to pit now rather than under green

Top-5 at the moment w/101 laps in the books.........
Dixon, Wheldon, Kanaan, Briscoe and Castroneves


Race control reporting that Meira has returned to pit lane; there looks like there is damage to the left-front suspension and he is out of the race! How does the saying go....."If we didn't have bad luck, we'd have no luck?" :shock: :shock: :shock:

Unlike the first half of the race, where the Target cars ran away from the field, the top-5 are within a second of each other
