Oh man. Hate to see that. Two crew members knocked down by unsafe release in pit lane. Hope their injuries are less severe than they look.

No idea what Davison's crew was thinking. Terrible hit

Davison confirming a monumental mess from the Dale Coyne cars. The other mechanic has also been taken by ambulance but was apparently walking and talking (so minor injuries only hopefully). |

I hate seeing crew getting hit like that. Hope they are okay.
JPM up to third from almost last! |

I don't know if it's just my lack of experience of watching 500s, but it looks like Pagenaud is slightly down on top speed compared to everyone else. He seems to be working harder for passes than others do passing him.

I can see that!
Maybe it's just his strategy to hang back and save fuel and time in the pits (his stops have been consistently a few tenths faster than the other top runners) but I can't remember Pagenaud putting an early pass in yet. I hope he does though, would be chuffed with a Pag victory. Edit - I would NOT be chuffed with Pagenaud and Montoya taking each other out on pit exit though! Kanaan into the wall hard! He's out of the car and looking fine though thankfully. |

All the Penskes out together and nearly getting in each other's way and Kanaan into the wall, he was looking good.

Looks from the replay like TK got too low in the turn and the car got loose underneath him.

So, it wasn't so good idea to make last-minute front wing changes.

Close calls for both Montoya and Pagenaud outside Kimball at turn 3.
It's a good thing BT Sport is technically free for me because I wouldn't be paying for an ad break at such an important part of the race. We Brits don't even get side-by-side! |

That was getting really good and then another yellow.

Big hit! Multi-car pile up as a problem with Pagenaud's front wing brought the midfield together.
Hawksworth, Saavedra, Oriel was it? |

Wow a major coming together, Saavedra, Hawksworth and Coletti. Looks like Hawksworth clipped Saavedra.

That looked serious. Let's hope no one's hurt badly. They spun almost like it was orchestrated. Perfect timing I'd say.

Saavedra being extracted, I hope there's nothing wrong and it's just a precaution.

5 laps to go! Good battle between Montoya, Dixon and Power.

Looks like Power has enough left to hold Dixon (mostly) and Montoya off, but I wouldn't rule any of the front four out. Even Kimball is close enough.
Kimball third, watch this space... Montoya wins! |
