Johnson, Edwards, Gordon, Kenseth, Earnhardt is the order.

That means Indianapolis 500 racer Townsend Bell has a shot at reaching the final on his rallycross debut.
NASCAR - Kentucky: Kurt Busch said the track's apron configuration spat him helplessly back up the track into Keselowski.

Keselowski counters that everyone knows there's a bad bump down there, yet Busch still went there...
Pikes Peak: There have been suggestions of incoming rain, but conditions right now are dry and clear - and unsurprisingly cold at the top.

The only distraction Loeb get might be drifting smoke... we've heard that a motorcycle competitor earlier on caused a small forest fire when he went off...
Pikes Peak: Sebastien Loeb is ready to go, but there's another slight delay so it will be about 15 minutes until he sets off.

He told AUTOSPORT earlier that despite his rapid pace in practice and qualifying, today felt very different.

"It's surprising, I've lost count of the number of times I've been up here in practice, but it feels different now," said Loeb.

"You know you can't try anything, you can't make a mistake. It's not like a rally where if you make a mistake on one stage, there are still 20 more to go."

The last practice at Pikes Peak was on Friday before the traditonal Saturday day-off, but Loeb requested a 15-minute shakedown at the nearby Pikes Peak International Raceway as he wanted to make sure he was in the car every day.

NASCAR - Kentucky: In a quite impressive feat, Jeff Burton has already picked up two pitlane speeding penalties and we've only just passed lap 40.

WTCC - Porto: Chequered flag. We've barely mentioned him, but James Nash takes a comfortable win ahead of Huff, Nykjaer and Oriola.
NASCAR - Kentucky: A competition caution was scheduled for lap 30 due to the level of rain last night and the chances of that changing the condition of the track.

Almost everyone chose to change at least two tyres in the resultant stops, and it was Earnhardt who came out first, followed by Johnson and Edwards.

It's David Gilliland who leads, probably briefly, as he didn't pit.

Now Johnson and Earnhardt are swapping positions under yellow...
WTCC - Porto: Fredy Barth into the wall at Turn 13, but we'll just have yellows as we're into the final lap.
WTCC - Porto: Basseng gets it all crossed up, rescues a sideways moment but loses fourth to Oriola. Huff meanwhile is under investigation for exceeding track limits.
