This makes a case for radio communications from crew to car, that's for sure!

I'm kind of curious why the car wasn't meatballed?

One of our drivers saw flame from under the car for a couple of laps... and the corner workers obviously saw it and brandished a fire bottle... but why no official black/meatball?

I'd figure that in the case of fire, you'd want to error on the safe side.

Don't know yet.  My job is keeping me busy enough that I likely won't know for a few weeks.

hope you sprayed the car down with water, i heard some fire retardant can eat away at wires, by the looks of the fuel that was leaking from under the car I would say that a fuel line came off , if the car was not slowing , maybe the return?
