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

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.
