I'm not sure I see the need for this rule. Lapped cars usually know that they have been lapped. Why not tell all in the driver's meeting that if a yellow comes out and they are a lapped car that they should move over on the restart and let the leaders go by? If you are being lapped, does it matter if you finish 15th, 20th, 19th or whatever? My point being that if you're afraid that you will lose a spot by moving over, it really doesn't matter since you are probably at the tail end of the field and taking home pennies for those back positions.

If Tom Hansing is flagging, he usually motions with his flag to the lapped cars to move over.
