To be clear and fair, on that last stop Steele got a right rear and some fuel, and then had the front brakes locked up all the way down the pit road until the push truck stopped because his car wasn't in gear from after the stop- thats how fast the push truck was on him after the jack dropped.

Congratulations to Steele he a great race.
