On dirt tracks go back to the last scored lap, regardless of which lap it is, and complete the published amount of laps. When the leader takes the checker the race is over.

On pavement tracks where laps under yellow are counted, whoever is leading when the published amount of laps are complete is the winner. It is the Indianapolis or Daytona 500, not 502 1/2. If the last lap is on yellow, so be it!

This BS all started at Talladega when a bunch of drunken hillbillies threw coolers on the track because Gordon was ahead of Earnhart when the yellow came out on the last lap.
