Lap 65: Pits open for all drivers under caution. Danica back in for tires.
Lap 63: Danica comes in before pit lane is open to drivers under caution -- she's allowed because she was running out of fuel. It was so close she had trouble getting car started after pit stop. Unfortunately, she'll have to come in once pits are officially open to get tires. Vitor Meira and Graham Rahal also have to get a splash of gas to keep going.
CAUTION Lap 62: Jay Howard crashes into inside wall between Turns 1 and 2. He just came out after pit stop. Looks like right wheel tire was loose and came off before he even got out of warm-up lane. Franchitti gets lucky break because he is in pits before crash so he gets to have full service.

Lap 45: Tagliani drops another spot as Wheldon passes him for third position.
Lap 44: Franchitti takes over second spot from Tagliani. Teammate Dixon is still leading.
Lap 40: Top 10: Dixon, Tagliani, Franchitti, Wheldon, Bell, Carpenter, Kanaan, Meira, Servia, Rice. Rahal is 17th, Marco 19th, Patrick 22nd.
Lap 38: Franchitti is coming on strong to try and take second place from Tagliani.
Lap 37: Other notable drivers: Kanaan is 8th, Castroneves is 14th, Rahal is 18th followed by Marco in 19th, Danica Patrick is 22nd.
Lap 35: Dixon retakes lead. Dixon and Tagliani are the only leaders of this race so far. Franchitti is third.
Lap 34: Another double file restart. Dixon takes the green -- again -- but Tagliani passes him for first place into Turn 1.
CAUTION Lap 27: EJ Viso hits the wall in Turn 1. Got squeezed into wall after trying to go three-wide into the turn. Marco Andretti has close call but goes low enough to avoid incident.

Twitter: @FollowAndretti: Danica coming in for wing adjustment
Lap 23: Cars in the pit. Will Power loses left rear tire after wheel nut isn't secured during pit stop. He's driving around track with three tires and coming back in to get another left rear. De Silvestro doesn't pit to try and make up lost laps from earlier in race.
CAUTION Lap 21: Takuma Sato hits the wall on Turn 2, bringing out first caution of the day. Just a lap earlier, Paul Tracy had to go to the pits for after appearing to touch the wall — tough luck for the man many believe should already be known as an Indy 500 winner.
Lap 20: Tagliani opening up lead over Dixon, followed by Bell, Wheldon and Franchitti.
Lap 17: Graham Rahal up to 21st spot after starting 29th, making him the biggest mover so far.
Lap 11: Top five: Tagliani, Dixon, Townsend Bell, Dan Wheldon, Dario Franchitti.
Lap 10: Oriel Servia is falling in the field, now sitting in the sixth spot.

Lap 5: Dixon and Tagliani are pulling away from rest of field. Simona de Silvestro in pit road and one lap down but no word on what the problem is.
Lap 1: Polesitter Alex Tagliani takes the green flag, but it's a crazy start to the race as cars try to time the start correctly. Scott Dixon takes early lead.

Yes, it's a spec car race now and certaily not what it used to be. It ain't bad, though. Those spec cars are going over 200 mph and there are some damn good drivers out there. And, for a change, the racing is good this year..so far.
