Pit stops?
I was checking out the pit stops overview on cart.com from Road America, and I'm a bit confused about how some of the pit strategies worked out. From my understanding, a pit stop for fuel and tires had to be made every fourteen laps, with lap 4 being the earliest a driver could come in. How is it then, that Michael Andretti and Mario Dominguez pitted on the first lap, and didn't pit again until lap fifteen? Even if they took on fuel and tires during the first stop, wouldn't they have to come in again at some point before lap fourteen? Or am I just hopelessly confused?
