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.
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.
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.
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: More contact. Chilton and MacDowall collide, dropping the former to 21st.
Muller now all over Monteiro, who has closed to 1.2s of Lopez.
Muller now all over Monteiro, who has closed to 1.2s of Lopez.
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.
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.
NASCAR - Pocono: The out-of-sequence Truex pits, as do some midfielders.
Up front it's going to be Kahne leading the Busch brothers.

Yellow flag
NASCAR - Pocono: Johnson is already back in the pits for yet more repairs.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Yellow flag
NASCAR - Pocono: Another tyre blow and another caution. This time it's David Stremme's Swan Toyota.
Ken Block
X Games - Los Angeles: Here's the Hoonigan crew getting Ken Block's Ford ready for practice, which isn't far away.
NASCAR - Pocono: Kahne slips inside Keselowski to retake the lead with 68 laps to go.
NASCAR - Pocono: Kahne is right back on Keselowski's tail as they hack through traffic. Thoroughly decent race.
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.

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.
NASCAR - Pocono: Slow restart for Kahne and Keselowski blasts into the lead.
Johnson has resumed in 28th.
Johnson has resumed in 28th.
NASCAR - Pocono: Just past half-distance, strategies are re-converging again with recent yellows and it's Kahne leading Keselowski, Gordon, Earnhardt and Newman.
The Busch brothers are back in eighth and ninth, Kyle ahead.

NASCAR - Pocono: Looks like it wasn't quite so simple for Johnson. He's back in the pits for further repairs.
Liam Doran
X Games - Los Angeles: The field has been split for tonight's main Rallycross event.
Group 1 includes European Rallycross champion Timur Timerzyanov, Ken Block and Travis Pastrana.
Scott Speed and Patrik Sandell are the star names in Group 2.
Mini ace Liam Doran will be up against Brian Deegan and Toomas Heikkinen in Group 3.
Rhys Millen is making his X Games Rallycross comeback this weekend and is in Group 4, along with Anton Marklund and Tanner Foust.
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.

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.

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.

NASCAR - Pocono: Johnson blows his right front tyre while leading!
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.

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.
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.

1 Matt Neal 256
2 Andrew Jordan 247
3 Gordon Shedden 234
4 Colin Turkington 219
5 Jason Plato 206
