It's a lot more impressive when they don't make it into a fuel economy race to save a pit stop.

But it's a less exciting race if everyone else is a lap down.

Oh great, the timing of the yellow has turned it into a fuel economy race.



At least we got more cars back on the lead lap.

Wow, now we have a race! Some guys pit again for fuel under the yellow, but O'Ward stays out!

I missed how everyone got unlapped, was it the last pit cycle?

I walked away and saw the yellow flag pits for fuel.

Holy shite, what a race, two solid lanes after the cleanup.

I think O'Ward's team screwed up.

During the yellow they gave everyone who was one lap down the wave-around.

Stingray removes the fuel economy aspect of the race.

Ok, so like F1. Don't like that rule.

It's pretty standard for oval racing so you don't end up with boring races with someone lapping everyone else. It makes sense because yellow flags are more common in oval races, and cars go a lap down when pitting under green, so you can win an oval race just because of lucky timing.

It's a typical oval late-race yellow epidemic!

Aww that’s an anticlimactic ending. I think NASCAR gets it right with the GWC overtime attempts
