Summary
Status: Stopped
Rahal was forced to enter the pits despite the pits being closed. A lack of fuel meant he needed to make the stop, but was not allowed to make a tyre change.
Castroneves left the pits ahead of Kanaan, and the pair have fed out in seventh and eighth.
Lazier's wheel came off as he exited the pit lane. He clambers out of the car to retire.

Remarkably, Castroneves hasn't won a race for nearly two years – his last win came in the second Detroit race in 2014.
Wilson has suffered a mechanical failure and has retired.
The other four rookies are still running headed by Brabham in 15th.

Takuma Sato is moving into contention. He's up to seventh, and has been among the fastest drivers during this stint. So the race seems to be coming to him.
Rossi has pitted from the lead having opted not to stop under the yellow flags.
Castroneves inherits the lead from Kanaan, while Hinchliffe, Munoz and Newgarden complete the top five.

Andretti has been plummeting down the order. After starting sixth on the restart the Andretti driver has been struggling and now fallen back to 19th.
His car seems to be down on power on the straights. The team has reported high tyre pressure issues on his car as being responsible.

Tagliani is going to need a caution very shortly to avoid a green-flag stop. Rossi has a bit more leeway as he stopped five laps later than Tag.
Dixon has had a quiet race, but a smooth pass on Rahal has given him ninth place.
He has also passed Andretti – next up is Munoz if the Kiwi can maintain his charge.
