Red on roll. Proper cube action?

Spoiler
After a failed blitz, white is now in a very inflexible position, having burried 4 checkers behind red's anchor, stacking 6 men on his 6-pt and having both of his back men in front of red's 4-pt prime. Thus white's small lead in race should not induce him to take.

It's very interesting compare this position to position 37. What's the difference? :)
