  We present nearly final results from our analysis of the form factors for
$B\to D^\ast\ell\nu$ decay at nonzero recoil. Our analysis includes 15 MILC
asqtad ensembles with $N_f=2+1$ flavors of sea quarks and lattice spacings
ranging from $a\approx0.15$ fm down to $0.045$ fm. The valence light quarks
employ the asqtad action, whereas the $b$ and $c$ quarks are treated using the
Fermilab action. We discuss the impact that our results will have on $\
|V_{cb}\ |$ and $R(D^\ast)$.
