In nascar can a driver be more than one lap down and still receive lucky dog pass?

Question

if a driver is first car lapped but is more than one lap down does he still receive lucky dog

Answer 1

no

Answer 2

Yes, the lucky dog goes to the first car not on the lead lap - doesn't matter how many laps down they are.

Answer 3

i'm pretty sure both jimmie johnson and robby gordon have been able to use the lucky dog that way as well.

Answer 4

As long as everyone else in front of him are on the lead lap, yes.

Answer 5

Actually I believe Kyle Busch came back from 5 laps down here at a race last year.  

Someone correct me if Im wrong on the track but I distinctly remember it happening.  Could have been Bristol.  He saved my butt in fantasy thats why I remember.

Answer 6

As long as no one is one lap down, they can get the Lucky Dog.  I believe it was at a road course in 06 that Kyle Busch got like 5 or 6 laps back via the Lucky Dog because no one was only 1 lap down.

EDIT:  I looked it up.  Kyle Busch got 5 LDs at Watkins Glen in August of 06 to come back and finish 9th.
