I've never really understood the significance of the lap timer flashing during a Cup race. For example, at Le Mans, the lap timer flashes at two occurrences  -- once right after I exit the 1st chicane on the Mulsanne Straight, and then again on the straight between the Mulsanne Corner and Arnage Corner. What info is the flashing lap timer telling me?
