RHR joins the fray; he's out the outside of Marco and Castroneves and Dixon are still side-by-side across the start/finish

TK just behind them in 5th, slowly reeling them in........


Dixon just ahead of Castroneves; Marco tries to get in the fight, RHR just behind them

6 lead changes the last 11 or 12 laps; cars still 2 and 3-wide for the lead and throughout the field........THIS is what racing is Texas is!

Race control reporting the leaders are beginning to approach the backmarkers..............

What d'ya know? Ryan Briscoe has made up those 2 laps he lost early on and he is movin'! Climbs from 25th or so all the way up to 5th!!!

90 laps in the books..........
Top-5 are Castroneves, Dixon, Marco, RHR and Briscoe


Race control reporting Patrick is on pitlane........likely going to lose at least 1 lap, maybe even 2

Briscoe now in 4th as he passes RHR; leaders now making their way through lap traffic


RHR takes advantage of the lap traffic; gets around Dixon and gets into 2nd.....Marco also took advantage of the traffic and Dixon falls back to 4th

Is Marco a high-wire walker or WHAT?? Makes the high-side pass around RHR and he is beginning to reel Castroneves in, using the high line to catch up to Spiderman

Race control reporting the #24, #33 and the #3 all violated the pitlane speed limit; they will have to serve drive-through penalties :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:
