Franchitti's lead over Briscoe now up to .536 sec.
Highest-running rookie at present is the #02 of Raphael Matos, currently in 7th and fighting off a hard-charging Paul Tracy

Race control reporting the #13 of E.J. Viso has made a second, unscheduled stop........he was running way slower than the race-pace at the time

2 drivers have led laps today............
---Castroneves, 7 laps
---Franchitti, 37 laps

Viso running about 193 mph.........if he continues at that pace, expect race control to black-flag Viso and order him back into pitlane

#06 of Doornbos white-walls the cars exiting turn 3........looked like he was dirt-tracking for a moment at Terre Haute there......

Replay shows it was your classic slingshot pass; Briscoe caught the draft off the #10 and just flew by him entering the turn

Leaders now catching the back-markers...........
