Awareness is so important, both of the rules and the current situation. It's a real advantage when you know what's going on and act on it.
I LOVE when that happens. If I am announcing I usually point it out at least but I almost feel like I am cheating when I do. After the break is really gone it seems like everyone else is just happy and shuts their brains off. They have no idea what's going on and figure everyone else will do the thinking for them. It's fun to watch.
The track is even more fun to watch when someone who is racing knows the full rules of that particular race and really uses them to their advantage. It almost makes the sport seem like it has some potential to entertain spectators....almost.
