this has been an incredible comeback from Simon Pino Dixon still has this is it one lap oh there goes Ryan Hunter Ray and Ryan Brisco and Brisco flies Brisco flips and flies on the grass the two Ryan came together terrible and that's a very abrupt end to what was a terrific day for Ryan Brisco he gives both thumbs up which is a good sign that was wild I think look at this the teammates again oh

lead of the race James henchcliffe goes goes aggressively we got a new leader we got a new leader look at that James henchcliffe takes it to New Garden and now takes off and that who and it's Graham rall Championship implications here big time that's a big hit right there wow who was it with it was with one of the Cor Point Cars Tristan votier Tristan votier and Graham rayall his championship hopes have just taken a whopping hit be interesting to see what happen let me tell you there is a substantial size disparity between Graham rayall and Tristan votier the whole Metro safety crew will be there they are there but votier looks like he is going to get a verbal dressing down he's backing up Graham Ray Hall's moving forward so he wants to have a word with him the guys are trying to separate them here obviously this is a huge blow for Graham for the championship yeah and by the hand gestures he's saying I was right there beside you what were you thinking we don't know that we haven't seen the replay it's going to be tough from there can power force poo into a mistake what's Dixon got power tries to switch back but he's there Dixon's there and Dixon stalls and rossy's the big winner Rossy goes from fifth to third in the one corner look at this the young Dutchman goes right around the outside in turn seven he is having a stellar day here at the gmr Grand Prix of Indie

lead P award up against the wall crossy squeezing him inside the P sitter gets that position back ready to return the favor and Dixon lets him go now fights back top of the hill turn fight Mr Mid Ohio is Power Revolution car for sage carum there's nothing too comfortable about this right alongside Ed Carpenter and look at this there's a salute a one fingered salute from Ed Carpenter did did not like that he went to the Paul Tracy School of sign language look at this Ed Carpenter does not like what he's experiencing oh he's getting squeezed again and that will allow Graham to probably come by screaming for a penalty Ed Carpenter saying and threw on the inside just whipping by as Graham Ray Hall Graham Ray Hall to 22 bit the black yellow and blue machine there Colton herder on the inside of Marcus kwood hits will power and turns him around on the here goes Marco up the inside of Scott Dixon he wants that position back and he's got it the RC ker car slots in there right behind Simona and hitch goes theide wow alio made a mistake it turn one hinchcliff is the new race leader these two were together at Texas two weeks ago herder gets the place back Dixon might get both of them side by side with h Cliff they tag each other Dixon wants a shot at herder on the inside to turn six of Marcus Erikson it's the long way round Erikson drives him a little long oh big contact lard and groan
