Top-6 with five minutes remaining.....................
Wilson, Castroneves, Dixon, Servia, Briscoe and Junquiera; Junquiera's run today so far is especially good, considering he wrecked the primary Dale Coyne car Thursday in the second practice session......... :shock: :shock:

Eight minutes in the session.............
Top-6 at the moment: Power, Kanaan, Moraes, Rahal, Hunter-Reay and Tracy.......and we have a full-course caution for the #27 of Hideki Mutoh; spun in the double apex of turns 10-11(for bringing out the full-course caution, Mutoh will lose his fastest lap of the session)

Interesting note.........the #11 of Tony Kanaan is sporting a new livery; for the first time in the past 5 years, TK's car is not sporting the familiar green/white of Team 7-11, but is sporting a blue/white Frank's Energy Drink livery....
