Didn't see the race. What happened?

Who made the no-call on Sunday regarding Dario's one lap on the red tires, when the rules say it was suppose to be a minimum of 2 laps on reds? Any post race discussion from race control?

[FormerFF]

The explanation the TV broadcast gave was that rule doesn't apply to doubleheader races, because of the limited number of tires available. Since none of the other teams made a stink about it, they apparently knew as well.

While Dario did not meet the letter of the rule, I think he met the spirit of the rule.

Red tires have to be used for 2 laps so a team with a stall just before the start/finish line cannot take the white flag on black tires, pit for red tires, and take the checkered flag on pit road. Dario used his reds mid-race, which negated any advantage.
