He had to. He had nothing to lose, and everything to gain. If he had left it alone, it would have blown in less than a lap, and he might have been a DNF. Bad for points. By trying to pull it out, there was a slight chance he could save it and finish in the top two. Worst case scenario: they foul him and move him to the back. Gee, all the way to 12th place. That gave him the chance to get 4 new tires without losing position, so when it went green, with 4 laps to go, he was in 12th place with 4 fresh tires. That got him an 8th place finish, which is alot better than a DNF.
Cheesy, but actually pretty clever.
Take care,
