IndyCar - Detroit: Jakes has pitted again and switched back to wets. He's now a lap down, and facing a long afternoon.
Elsewhere, Sage Karam is making good progress from 20th and is up to 13, while Power is eating into Montoya's lead a little - that gap has fallen from 4.0s to 2.8s over the past four laps.

IndyCar - Detroit:Big moment for Power there. He did well to catch it, and presses on still in second place.
IndyCar - Detroit: Montoya is opening up a decent gap over Power, and his advantage is around 4.0s at the moment.
Further back, Jakes is lapping 8s slower than the rest of the field, and it's starting to sprinkle again on pit road. Early days, but that gamble is not looking like it's going to pay off.

IndyCar - Detroit: Big plume of smoke from the right bank of Munoz's engine. You rarely see blow-ups like that anymore - it's making us nostalgic for 1990s F1. At any rate, his changes of back-to-back wins are over. He's managed to get the car out of harm's way, and it will be dealt with under local yellows.
NASCAR - Dover: 65 laps to go and the leaders have pitted.
Brad Keselowski, Joey Logano and Greg Biffle have stayed out and are now the top three, with Harvick the last driver on the lead lap in fourth.

And we're already seeing teams get tricky with strategy: two laps in, Jakes pits. It still looks pretty wet for slicks.
