Meira, meanwhile, continued only as far as the restart twelve laps later, when he found himself unceremoniously dumped into the wall by John Andretti. Although the American veteran held his hand up - and suffered by far the greater damage - Meira was also out on the spot, bringing the casualty list to ten - including walking wounded - with the race yet to reach one-third distance.
Camara had continued to lead at each restart, with Kanaan distracted on the latest attempt as Castroneves went three-wide with his fellow Brazilian and Danica Patrick, who had found herself in the mix courtesy of AGR's decision to pit her, along with several others including Camara and those involved in the latest incident, during the Foyt/Carpenter-inspired yellow.
With a substantial clear-up operation to be carried out, the caution extended through lap 100, with Patrick and Townsend Bell taking another opportunity to top off their tanks as Carpenter finally resumed. Camara, meanwhile, prolonged his stay at the front by resisting Kanaan until lap 114, when the elder Brazilian's look allowed Andretti Jr into second. A lap later, the American was into the lead and, once there, proceded to pull out one of the biggest leads of the night.
Again, however, any attempt to pull away and establish a lead that would last to the chequer was thwarted when fellow 'son of' Graham Rahal found the turn four wall, ending a strong run for the Newman/Haas/Lanigan Racing team that had seem feature at the sharp end for a long time.
