My feelings are that the leader has worked hard to get by these other guys and put some distance between himself and his pursuers and you reward the chasers by taking away his hard work and move them back to his tail tank. Doesn't seem fair to me if you are the leader of the pack.

Putting the lap cars to the back anytime during a feature is completely wrong.
Free pass to any racer who has not earned it, is nothing more than a disgrace to the sport, gimmick racing and a phony finish to a race is all that this does. For the leader and the other cars who have driven and made the moves to get to the front and have it taking away like this makes you wonder what type of leadership the series has in place to even implement a rule like this.
