    There are massive black tyre marks on the wall.

    It's 49-year-old Buddy Lazier who seems to oversteer and hits the wall at speed.

    Ryan Hunter-Reay's quick pit gives him a huge lead of over 3.5 seconds!

    Meanwhile, Andretti, down in 18th, sets fastest lap with a speed of 225.842 mph.

    Scary.

    Lap 114/200

    American Graham Rahal has joined the party up at the front...

    He goes into second while Alonso, Rossi and Ryan Hunter-Reay pit.

    Not the quickest of stops for Fernando...

    Castroneves makes his mid-way stop. A 7.3 second stop.

    Strategists say everyone should be on about a three stop race here...

    Oooh we may have a little F1 battle on our hands here....

    Alonso tries to take third position from Max Chilton but he is not giving him any space...

    Similar rules to F1, you can defend your line once.

    Meanwhile, Rossi is leading again.
