FYI

The procedure for this race is when a yellow comes out, clear the accident scene first.
Next the lineup is set, then the pits are open for 4 laps to allow for pit stops. After the minimum of 4 laps the green comes back out.

Early and late in the race very few teams pit so it appears to the fans the pace truck is just riding around wasting time. I observed one guy who felt compelled to stand and yell at the pace truck while flipping them the bird during several yellow flag periods.

If you don't understand the procedure, I'm sure it could be frustrating.

I'm sharing in an effort to help everyone relax and enjoy the show next year.
