Marco Andretti is moving up! The Indiana Jones car is in 4th!

John Andretti is running solidly in 14th.

Battle for the lead!

Right now, Wheldon can't get past Dixon.

We are 1/4 done!

AJ Foyt IV is GETTING BACK IN THE RACE!!!!!

The fans like that!!!

They had to get a new helmet, because the old one was full of Fire Extunguisher.

He's showing his veteran skills so far.

Here's circa Lap 51:

I have to say, there are surprising names moving up the field! The top 5 aren't too much of a surprise, but there's a lot of very competitive folks right there!

Uh oh. Marty Roth smacks the wall, right where Graham Rahal did. That's it for him.

Helio Castroneves took some nose damage, but is still out there.

Mario Moraes has been told to contact the Director's Channel. That means tech issue or rules issue, most likely.

We'll see who's in first after this pit. AJ Foyt IV, Junqueira, Moraes, and 1 or 2 others stay out.

He was off-sequence for pit stops. He's back up to 13th right now, and has looked good today.

If you guys need any questions answered about your drivers, I have a lot of live feeds, radio coverage, and online guides going here. Lemme know.

Any chance of a link to a live results feed please.

Zachary The First · May 25, 2008, 03:04:12 PM

Yeah, here. Click on the link for "Live Timing And Scoring"

EDIT: Manning, Fisher, making another pit. Sarah Fisher had some issues today. Darren Manning was running strong, and his car looks good today.

Its a pity Gencon not at the same time as the race, it would have been good to watch it this year.

Thanks for the link.
