Mike, you missed the narrative and you are nit-picking, and clearly taking words out of context. I stand behind my words. They stopped racing. Fact. They proceeded in their protocol for this safety event. Fact.

Listen to this.

2:22 mark

then go back and watch the boat's tracks on the virtual eye replay, which clear shows them stopping to assist.

So to edit my words to satisfy your delusional interpretation of what everyone else gets, I shall state that "BAR stopped to assist".

And let me add, my feelings at the time was that these pros put safety first, that they are a band of brothers, and I found it extremely honorable that BAR immediately stopped racing and went into ASSIST mode.

Therefore, WOW !!
