Help me understand why IMSA didn't...

...throw a caution when one of the Aston Martins died about 10-15 mins. before the finish of today's race at Lime Rock and the driver parked it fairly close to the track:





I'm glad the end of the race wasn't marred by a caution and it was great not having one, but this seemed a little sketchy to me. And it looked much more dangerous when viewed at speed than in these stills.

The only thing I can come up with is that it was on the inside of the turn, so possibly their thinking was that 1) drivers had noted the position of the car and would be more careful in that area and 2) if there was a shunt there, the cars involved would probably crash to the left.

BTW, in case you didn't know, Porsche got 1st and 2nd:
