Race control reporting Andretti is done for the night; team reporting his gearbox is, in their words, "fried".............. :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:

Looks like everyone has made their stops............

Top-5 at the moment........Hornish, Wheldon, Dixon, Patrick and Castroneves; Patrick tried to go 3-wide with Dixon and Wheldon but couldn't make it stick, so she falls back in line, still in 4th...........

Passing lap 151............IMS radio interviewing Marco; he sounds as though he's just having an awful year; 6 DNF's in the first 7 races....what else could happen this year?

Franchitti now in 6th, passing Castroneves.........

Wheldon and Dixon fighting for 2nd-3rd; Dixon briefly held 2nd, but Wheldon re-took the spot........Hornish still leads.............

Patrick had to check-up a bit to pass Duno; Castroneves and Franchitti took the opportunity to pass her, dropping her to 7th(memo to Milka........keep up the pace, please! :x :x )

Hornish still leading(what else is new at the moment.......) with a near-7 second lead

I feel sorry for Scheckter; he's 30 or so laps down and he's running faster laps than Hornish!!! :lol: :shock: :shock:

Hornish now has led the most laps; he'll get the three bonus points for leading the most laps..........
