Crash
NASCAR - Pocono: David Gilliland has slammed the Turn 2 wall, so it's back to caution.
Running order is Johnson, Keselowski, Kurt Busch, Kahne, Kyle Busch, Gordon, Logano, Menard, Newman, Earnhardt.

Yellow flag
NASCAR - Pocono: Most leaders are into the pits under yellow. Kurt Busch beats Johnson out, but Keselowski hasn't stopped so rises to the front.
NASCAR - Pocono: Danica Patrick and Marcos Ambrose bash into each other on pit road and continue, as Tony Stewart joins Matt Kenseth and Carl Edwards in picking up a pit speeding penalty already today.
Green flag
NASCAR - Pocono: Back to green on lap 57, and Kahne passes Keselowski for the lead after a long side by side battle.
NASCAR - Pocono: A large number of cars stayed out during that pit sequence, so erstwhile leaders Kurt Busch and Johnson are back in 12th and 16th.
Keselowski has another look at Kahne, it doesn't pay off, and now the champion is under attack from Jeff Gordon.

Gordon Shedden
BTCC - Snetterton: Andrew Jordan and Gordon Shedden's wins today gain them some ground in the points, but despite not taking a victory in Norfolk, Matt Neal is still out front.
A very bad day for Jason Plato, though. Despite MG starting the weekend with dominant pace, his haul today was a second place, a retirement and a violent roll.
Championship standings after 18 of 30 rounds:
1 Matt Neal 256
2 Andrew Jordan 247

NASCAR - Pocono: Leaders Keselowski, Kahne and Gordon are cycling through their next pitstops. Johnson is now up to fourth and appear to rise to the lead.
NASCAR - Pocono: AUTOSPORT has an odd fascination with the start-and-park end of the field. Last week at Indianapolis, everyone finished!
But this week Michael McDowell, Josh Wise and Alex Kennedy have already bailed out.

Yellow flag

Breaking news
IndyCar - Mid-Ohio: Tristan Vautier has been handed a grid penalty for an unapproved engine change.
Fire damage also forced his Schmidt team to scavenge most of the back end of its spare car in order to get Vautier's car repaired for the race.

IndyCar - Mid-Ohio: The race start is still about 45 minutes away, but early signs are that it should be worth the wait. Will Power said on Friday that the race was a clear three-stopper, but Ganassi is optimistic that the Honda can make it on two stops. If it does transpire that the Chevys are three-stopping and pushing like hell, and the Hondas are two-stopping and saving fuel, things could get interesting.
One factor that could count against Ganassi is the race distance, which is five laps longer than last year.

NASCAR - Pocono: Johnson makes it back to the pits and the Hendrick crew change tyres and check for damage.
The championship leader had just lapped Martin Truex Jr when the tyre gave up, sending him into the wall.
Doesn't look like damage was too significant as the pitstop was relatively quick. He managed to get back out without losing a lap! The caution immediately coming out and slowing the field helped there.

Brad Keselowski
NASCAR - Pocono: This has already been a great weekend for Keselowski.
He made a rare 'double duty' dash over to Iowa Speedway to take part in yesterday evening's Nationwide race and came away with a win.
WTCC - Argentina: The pitlane has opened at Rio Hondo, signifying we're around 20 minutes away from the start of our second and final contest.
If you missed it, race one was a wild affair - at least from second down. But with Yvan Muller starting from 10th, and home favourite Jose Maria Lopez on pole, race two could be even better.

NASCAR - Pocono: Kahne is right back on Keselowski's tail as they hack through traffic. Thoroughly decent race.

Ken Block
X Games - Los Angeles: Here's the Hoonigan crew getting Ken Block's Ford ready for practice, which isn't far away.
Yellow flag

NASCAR - Pocono: Martin Truex Jr was the only driver who didn't pit there and he now leads.
Everyone else is back on the same strategy, running as follows: Kahne, Kurt Busch, Kyle Busch, Stewart, Earnhardt, Gordon, Biffle, Newman, Edwards.
Keselowski is back in 15th, he took four tyres as most took two.
Johnson is only 30th, he just took a penalty for having too many crew members working on the car in his last stop.

WTCC - Argentina: We're underway, with Lopez leading the field around the formation lap. Standing start for race two, of course, which should favour Lopez and the BMWs.
Green flag
NASCAR - Pocono: Truex keeps the lead at the restart, as the Buschs go three-wide with Kahne. Kyle gets through, Kurt doesn't.
Lights out
WTCC - Argentina: Great start for Lopez and he has the early lead. Monteiro jumps Nykjaer for second, while Tarquini jumps from ninth to fourth.
Crash
NASCAR - Pocono: Aric Almirola loses his left rear tyre and spins gently into the Turn 3 wall. Timmy Hill ends up the wrong way around in the ensuing traffic jam too.
Yellow flag
NASCAR - Pocono: Johnson is already back in the pits for yet more repairs.
NASCAR - Pocono: The out-of-sequence Truex pits, as do some midfielders.
Up front it's going to be Kahne leading the Busch brothers.

WTCC - Argentina: Lopez almost two seconds faster than anyone else on that opening lap. Muller is on a charge meanwhile - he picks off Oriola down the straight and then passes Nash on the outside of Turn 7 to steal into fifth.
Crash
WTCC - Argentina: Make that third for Muller. Tarquini gives him an unintended helping hand after clashing with Nykjaer. The pair run wide, and in the ensuing clash Muller simply slips by into third. Just Monteiro between him and Lopez now.
Crash
WTCC - Argentina: More contact. Chilton and MacDowall collide, dropping the former to 21st.
Muller now all over Monteiro, who has closed to 1.2s of Lopez.

X Games - Los Angeles: Last night the Irwindale Speedway X Games venue was all asphalt, cones and shipping containers with holes in them for Gymkhana Grid.
Now the dirt has arrived ready for Rallycross, as Tanner Foust shows in his picture.

Crash
WTCC - Argentina: Something you don't see everyday - Muller makes a mistake. He gets too close to Monteiro, gets slightly loose on the inside dust and tags the Honda, which runs deep and through the gravel at Turn 7. Muller in second, but he might face a penalty for that. Monteiro now ninth.
Green flag
NASCAR - Pocono: Back to green, Kyle Busch attacks Kahne first, but loses out to brother Kurt, who also has a go at Kahne, before losing second back to Kyle again.
WTCC - Argentina: Drive-through penalty for Muller. Huff meanwhile has retired through damage, while team-mate Basseng has a massive moment at Turn 5 after contact with Coronel and only just manages to hang on. He's dropped to 19th though.
Crash
NASCAR - Pocono: Yellow for a multi-car crash. Travis Kvapil, Jeff Burton and Danica Patrick among those involved and damaged.
WTCC - Argentina: Muller's penalty is a massive gift for Lopez - not only will the Frenchman drop back, but Monteiro is also out of the picture. He now leads by 4.4s from Tarquini. Oriola, Nykjaer, Michelisz and Monteiro are next up.
