Here's what happened to me in the very FIRST race I ever drove in. I made the feature. Halfway through the race I was going down the backstretch and saw the red light come on in turn 3. I got totally out of the gas, looked across the turn and saw nothing. (the flip was in turn1). I coasted very slowly around to the front stretch and stopped. So did 4-5 cars ahead of me. The flagman came out of the flagstand, walked over and told me to "put the car on the trailer, you're done for tonight". I still made $80.00 :O:
Not sure if that answers your question, just relaying personal experience.
