So, I was interested in watching what happened with the cars that were lapped in the first 25 laps. I thought that they would be put back in the order where they crossed the line, but they were put in the back of the field. It also looked like when they were lapped in the second 25 that they immediately pulled off. Is this some kind of rule or was it jus a real coindence that it happened the way it did.

Coincidence I believe. I saw a couple of others finished 2 laps down on the stat sheet. Lap cars to the back of any restart has always been the way they have lined up for years.

No rule or anything that I am aware of. Lets be honest though. If you are getting lapped within 25 laps and getting lapped again within short order and you are a good driver in good equipment it goes without saying that the car is being downright evil and you are parking it to keep out of the way of guys that are actually racing for something at that point. Nothing to gain when a car is being downright nasty.
