My guess is the Race Director decided that he was in unusual harm being that the car was on its roof and if he were to be subjected to impact on the drivers side things could have been bad. That also may be an agreement that the drivers and Race Director made in a meeting, that if their is a car upside down we will throw the yellow so everyone can be aware of the dangerous situation involving the car / driver.
Also, I just wanted to clear up my unusually long rambling post. It narrows down to the fact that the 2 cars battling for the lead had a clear view of the start finish line and a clear track ahead. I am certain that played into the Race Director's decision.
I shared an office when I worked for ASA with the current Director of Tech in the Busch Series. I am going to fire him an email and see if he can send any info that may enlighten us as to what happened in the tower. Crap its Thursday, so he is probably on the road, oh well lets see if he responds.
