CAUTION! Turn 2...................

Looks like the #5 of Moraes and the #26 of Marco Andretti.........Moraes slides to a stop on the back-stretch while Marco limps his way to the pitlane......

Replay showing that the #26 tapped the back right of the #5 and sent him into the wall........looks as though the #26 is done for the day...........

Listening to the IMS feed, it sounds as though Marco and Moraes are blaming each other for the accident.......
