...what if we didn't? When everyone decides to save fuel, what if we give a mad-lad Kiwi four fresh tyres and let him run flat-out?
And, for the record, it's not just a Shane Van Gisbergen thing. Of the six other drivers that followed the same strategy;
Michael McDowell rallies to 2nd
Chase Briscoe rallies to 4th
Tyler Reddick rallies to 5th
A.J. Allmendinger rallies to 7th
I don't think it will buck the trends, the math guys will, almost, always say fuel-saving is faster than a trip down pit road... but it's good when you get a mix of both strategies. Too often the entire field is on the same strategy (sometimes it's mandated by the series), making it hard to tell and just leaving fans with the nagging "what if" question.
