To be fair, there have been times like Mosport in '06 where half the tail of an Audi R10 was sitting just to the outside of the racing line, but no yellow (not even a local one) was thrown. Same race in '02 featured a whole Porsche 911 door sitting off line in turn one just barely into the grass.
We've also seen cautions thrown, too, just to sweep tire marbles off the track as well at Sebring and Road Atlanta.
But I guess this is a different era compared to the ALMS--you'd be surprised though the years how much debris and crap fell off of/got knocked off cars back then without bringing out yellows. But this is in the era of liability and racing sanctioning bodies don't want to get sued or be asked by teams or drivers to pay for medical bills or for damaged/destroyed race cars.
