On high-banked ovals like Las Vegas (20° banking in turns 1-4), lateral centrifugal forces load the right-front and right-rear tires at up to 3.2 Gs. Right-side tire rubber sheds grip at 2.4x the rate of left-side tires, precipitating sharp 0.8s+ pace drop-offs after 35 continuous green-flag laps.
Stopping 4 to 7 laps earlier than the leader allows a car to exploit fresh Goodyear tires immediately. With new grip producing 1.2s faster laps than older rubber, the driver erases the 41.5-second pit lane transit loss and gains track position once the competition finally pits.
When an incident triggers a yellow flag, the entire field slows to 55 mph pace car speed. Pitting under yellow reduces the net time lost to pit road from 41.5 seconds down to approximately 16.5 seconds relative to the moving pack, creating race-winning opportunities.
