I was surprised that after Pickens led the entire event without touching another car he could be dumped and then put to the back of the field. It seems like he should have been given his position back on the restart and the car that dumped him put to the rear. This has been done in the past. Not that it should make a difference but Pickens came all the way from New Zealand to race. Just my opinion but I feel he didn't get a fair shake on this deal. Seavey readily admitted guilt yet nothing to my knowledge was done. It cost Pickens and his team a bunch of money, the trophy and almost the Illinois Speed Weeks championship.
