Ambrose thinks there might be tyre problem.
The pace is ok, though...and he is planning to pit after few more laps.

Montoya inherits the lead, he's scheduled to come in in 2 laps.
He's stuck behind the lapped car of Robby Gordon.

JPM pits. To me it looks like the ones who didn´t pit under yellows got the better end of the deal...

Ambrose pitted, but now he's up to 7th ?
Did they gamble on 2 tyres ?

Other than possible rain, I'm not sure what good a stop would do. ALthough it is raining in Jersey evidently.

BMW How about the lap-by-lap page?
Sounds like JPM is in trouble of some kind, has to pit again?
Ambrose must have taken two tires or a splash-n-dash, he's up in the top 10 now.

I don't know what happened, I heard Tab ordering everyone up to be ready, next thing I know he's running 1 sec faster than the leader.
Sounds like they're asking Juan to conserve fuel; maybe they didn't quite fill it up right? But they are just asking for insurance for a green-white-checkers. Anyway he's good to go now.
Juan ought to get a couple positions on the restart, I expect him to be in 7th within a few laps.

No tyres. They checked them out, as Marcos reported possible tyre problem.
The question is did they get fuel? Hopefully...otherwise he´ll be screwed.

I think he has older tyres than top 4 guys?
I suppose they had to skip tyre change for track position (not much options when you start 43rd on road course), but that might hurt them in the end.

Newman deserves a slap for that yellow, he could easily have braked, and not rolled backwards onto the track.

Hey guys, cool bit of insider info:
Ambrose has JPM's transmission from last year.
If you recall, he got dumped on a restart due in part to having a very tall first gear.
Good to keep in mind for this restart!

What a douche bag. This caution is interminable. Now down to 10 to go. I think JPM will be able to get Marcos and T-Stew. If he gets up to 2nd, the battle w/ Busch should be EPIC.
