Scott enters Indiana in 6th

Last time I updated on Saturday, Scott was just entering Missouri. Now he's crossed all of Missouri AND Illinois, having just entered Indiana this morning. He moved up to 6th place overnight, overtaking Julian Sanz Garcia before reaching the last time station about an hour ago.

There's still a pretty tight grouping between Scott in 6th and Martin Jakob (5th, 47 minutes ahead of Scott), and Garcia (7th). Amazingly, Franz Preihs has increased his lead over Martin Jakob by 3 1/2 hours, giving him some breathing room in the 4th spot. You'll remember Franz is the racer who broke his collarbone back on Thursday.

Scott has 781 miles to go. "Now's the time where Scott starts acting a little weird," said Bryce Walsh, Scott's crew manager. "We really don't let Scott make any decisions at this point in the race. It's up to the crew to make sure he's doing what he's supposed to do."
