...............and the ANZAC battle continues as Dixon keeps an iron-grip on the lead w/Briscoe right on his gearbox.........

Briscoe and Dixon, side-by-side down the front-stretch......side-by-side through 1-2...................through the back-stretch............Briscoe still side-by-side w/Dixon..............Briscoe leads.............still side-by-side; they are right next to each other, neither giving an inch!

Briscoe inches ahead; they're still side-by-side at 216mph!
Dixon still with him, not giving up the fight for the lead..................

They're still side-by-side; no one is giving an inch at 216mph; Briscoe has the narrowest of leads but Dixon still holds steady...........and they're still side-by-side........

Dixon pits from 2nd; Briscoe wins that round..................

Several cars making their stops now...............that battle btwn. Briscoe and Dixon was some of the most exciting racing I have seen in a long time......................

Now the battle is re-joined as Briscoe got back out right in front of the Kiwi.........

Looks like most everyone has made their second round of stops..............
Top-5 after 109 laps: Briscoe, Dixon, Castroneves, Carpenter, Kanaan

Patrick passes Franchitti for 6th

Lap 113: TK is having a great run so far this race, he is currently in fifth.

................and we have a yellow!
Checking race control's feed......................

Lap 121: Yellow for smoke out of the back of Wilson's car.

Looks like a bunch of the front-runners are making another stop, which is odd.........there's no way any of them would be able to make it; they'd have to make at least one more stop............

Top-5 after 124 laps
Power, Briscoe, Castroneves, Dixon, Carpenter


......just had an unkind thought: Castroneves is between Briscoe and Dixon; will he make his car very wide and try to keep Dixon at bay?

Power leads them back to the green................while we were away, Dixon jumped the restart and gave up a few spots; Carpenter was on a rocket and is nipping at Power's heals while Briscoe nearly white-walled the car exiting turn 4

Carpenter is right on Power's back, trying to get by him..........
