Two separate incidents drew attention during Sunday’s Java House Grand Prix of Monterey at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca for one simple reason: IndyCar race control's ‘patience’ in throwing a full-course caution.
Rinus VeeKay ended up stranded in the Turn 3 runoff after being hit by Kyle Kirkwood on lap 25, right in the middle of a pit sequence. This meant some drivers were rejoining the track from the pits and accelerating from Turn 2, while others were already at full speed and fighting for position.
