My thinking: This race has a silly rule that no set of tires may go more than 25 laps. So, with a 57-lap race, you have to have at least 2 pit stops. Counting backwards, 57-25 = 32. Then, 32-25 = 7. So any time there is a full-course caution beyond lap 7, you pit. With Hulk crashing out on lap 7 and the resulting safety car requiring several laps to clear the mess, you pit. Because that means you only have to pit once more for the rest of the race (like the other 17 cars did). If you don't pit on Hulk's full-course yellow, then you have to pit 2 more times in the rest of the race. I'd rather have only one more pitstop to go than two.
If there are no other yellows, then you're cooked. If there's a yellow between laps 25-32, you're cooked. That's not flexibility. The other cars have flexibility. You don't have flexibility.
I don't understand whoever's on the radio with Norris or the TV pundits citing "flexibility.".
