It is not that Parente not had room anymore. Also Parente went more to the middle of the track as well. The penalty for the LSR crew was much to big imo.

Here's some other perspectives and discussion about the incident. (including on boards) from Andy Soucek and Mike Skeen on Twitter.

Obviously Mike Skeen is a very talented driver with a ton of laps at VIR.
He could probably easily drive the track blindfolded. Perhaps the problem with driving a track too much from memory is it sometimes doesn't allow for the extra variable of the other competitors sharing the track with you.
