The Lexus-Riley driven by Dan Wheldon, Scott Dixon & Memo Rojas spun, hit some Armco, and is in the garage. Don't cry for Chip Ganassi; his other car, driven by Scott Pruett, Salvador Duran, and a NASCAR rookie named Juan Pablo Montoya (formerly of the McLaren formula one team, a Champ Car titleholder, and Indy 500 winner) runs 2nd. The leaders are Patrick Carpentier, Darren Manning, Ryan Dalziel (all of whom have driven or will drive Indy or Champ cars) and Milka Duno--a lady with Grand Am Rolex series wins in her own right. As for the Wayne Taylor team (the one for whom Jeff Gordon drives), they run 3rd, on the lead lap.
This could get verrrry interesting in the next 3:15.
