A. Restart Line Up: Position of the cars when caution flag displayed with cars involved in incident starting scratch.
B. Caution Laps: Driver credited with lap if driver joins field prior to restart of race. Driver credited with last green lap if, in the
judgment of track Officials, was unable to join the field safely. Last green lap will not be credited if driver intentionally causes
or attempts to cause a caution by stopping, spinning out, or could join the field safely with last green lap.
C. Any car failing to hold position except for legitimate conference with Track Official shall lose position.
D. If cars fail to hold position during an incident, all cars in the incident will start scratch. Any car passed by leader prior to
caution flag being displayed will be considered a lap car.
E. All cars joining single file line up prior to green flag will be scored first caution lap unless caution laps counted.
F. Cars will restart double file. Lap cars hold positions.

car if on the lead lap because of the free pass will restart as the last car on the lead lap. If the lead lapped car is involved in
causing the caution, then it will not be eligible for the free pass and no free pass will be given to any car. Because the line up
under caution does not revert to the last green lap, the free pass policy is intended to benefit a car which may have lost a lap
due to a prior incident. It is not intended to assist a car that is many laps down. This rule will apply to all divisions except Figure
8s.

penalized.

extend outside of closed body of racecar during the race or practice. Minimum of $50 fine may be assessed to anyone driving

time or a number of laps, whichever is appropriate as determined by Speedway Officials. A lap or time penalty may be
imposed when the competitor has violated the applicable rules, direction from a Speedway Official or a known race procedure.
The Speedway reserves the right to assess such penalties after the event when there are insufficient laps or time remaining in
the race to impose a lap or time penalty. Scoring will be corrected accordingly.
