I feel something is not right here...

This happens a lot in Indycar. Oddly, ever since Will Power called for virtual safety cars to be implemented to prevent this sort of thing, he seems to have benefited from it the most. But looking over the last few years he has been hurt by it more than anyone else, often dominating the early stages of a race only to end up mid field due to this kind of thing.
I think one thing they've learned is, the second you're within your fuel window, pit! Even if you have to conserve fuel a little bit afterwards, it's not worth the gamble.
Any way congratulations to Will Power getting it done anyway. That's 3 wins and a 2nd the last 4 races.
