The spin was also half a track from the leaders with two to go and was executed very quickly. If that is the rule, that is the rule, but I believe circumstances are peculiar to any occurrence, and that 360 was not a compromising one. Had that rule not been authored, the incident should not have brought out a yellow. There should be incentive for a racer to not stop in the event of a spin of this nature.
The caution flag set the table for what happened next. It is a case-study in the potential inherent in the yellow flag-black flag for a spin rule.
I understand the rule. I don't and won't agree with it.
But it's all incidental to Darren's well-being, which is the only important by-product of all this drama now.
