Frye explains IndyCar's overnight reset at Barber

Verizon IndyCar Series competition boss Jay Frye says the decision to allow its teams to refuel for the continuation of the rain-delayed Barber race and restart with a full complement of push-to-pass functionality took a page from the rain-delayed Texas race in 2016. "We called it a modified red flag as we did at Texas," Frye told RACER. "We set a precedent there before. If we could have continued running the next day, it's easy to impound cars at Texas with the garages there. You pull them in, pull the doors down, and lock the garage. Here, it's more spread out, and it's harder to police them. It wasn't the only factor, but it was one of the factors." Related Stories...
