Castroneves has run seven laps longer since his last stop than the four cars behind him.
Castroneves still holds the lead with Hunter-Reay tucked up behind him.
Alonso thinks about going around Hunter-Reay into Turn 1 on lap 98, but thinks better of it and slots back into third in line.
The order on lap 97 is: Castroneves, Hunter-Reay, Alonso, Rossi, Chilton, Kanaan, Rahal, Newgarden, Power, Montoya.
And Castroneves takes the lead from Hunter-Reay on the run to Turn 1.
Hunter-Reay goes back past Rossi to take the lead. That's the 18th lead change of the day.
The order is: Rossi, Hunter-Reay, Castroneves, Chilton, Alonso, Kanaan, Newgarden, Rahal, Montoya, Power.

Chilton is making life difficult for Alonso, and justifiably so as he's defending third place.
Alonso has to defend to prevent Castroneves trying to come back past into Turn 3.
Alonso sweeps to the left of Castroneves on the main straight to take fourth place.
Rossi is past Power, and now goes past Hunter-Reay for second.
LAT Images: Alonso alongside Hildebrand and Sato earlier in the day.

Chilton leads from Power, Hunter-Reay, Castroneves, Rossi, Alonso.
So the order is: Power, Chilton, Castroneves, Hunter-Reay, Rossi, Alonso.
Castroneves also stayed out, and is now third now that the timing screens have updated.
