    Who made the no-call on Sunday regarding Dario's one lap on the red tires, when the rules say it was suppose to be a minimum of 2 laps on reds? Any post race discussion from race control?

    The explanation the TV broadcast gave was that rule doesn't apply to doubleheader races, because of the limited number of tires available. Since none of the other teams made a stink about it, they apparently knew as well.

    While Dario did not meet the letter of the rule, I think he met the spirit of the rule.

    Red tires have to be used for 2 laps so a team with a stall just before the start/finish line cannot take the white flag on black tires, pit for red tires, and take the checkered flag on pit road. Dario used his reds mid-race, which negated any advantage.
