Question

Specifically, is it under 5 laps to go, lapped cars go to the end of the longest line. versus lined up inside lead lap cars?

Answer 1

10 laps to go

Answer 2

I think it's when there is 10 to go or less.  Then it's single file line up on the restart.

Answer 3

It is actually 10 laps to go

Answer 4

10 to go or less which is something I just don't get...

Answer 5

10 to go, single file, and lap cars in the back. Also no more lucky dogs in the last 10 laps I think.

Answer 6

Before 10 laps to go they line up in order of position inside the lead lap cars. They also have to pit after the lead lap cars. The first car 1 lap down gets a lucky dog award, meaning he gats to get his lap back but starts at the end of the line os lead cars.

With 10 to go they line up behind the lead lap cars in the order they were running before the yellow came out, unless the pit, then it is to the end of the line.

It is also ruled that they should heed the move over flag if a lead lap car is passing them. Some do some don't, especially if they are racing among other lap cars or trying to stay on the tail of the lead lap. Or just plain rude and stubborn in which case, depending on who it is behind they, they will either get the chrome horn or find themselves spinning out of control.

Answer 7

If there are less than 10 laps to go, lap traffic goes to the end of the longest line.
