sorry to inform you missourracefan but the reason trevor had to restart in 11th and steveb restarted a few postions ahead of him was because steven got back up to the minimum speed required by nascar befor trevor did, and the reason they placed them where they did was because when steven spun trevor out they both stopped on the track and were penalized for going below the minimum speed. so when they got back going thats were they would have blended in.

I was at the race Saturday night. Trevor Bayne did not immediately try to get past the pace car and was not penalized for that. After it was determined he was still the leader, he really did drive fast past the other cars during the caution in order to reassume his lead position. Steven Wallace also drove fast to resume his position at second. Both drivers were penalized and put back before the restart. It surprised me how fast both drivers were going during the caution lap. Unfortunate that both young men were penalized but they broke the safety rules. Why Bayne was put back further than Wallace I don’t understand – although he was driving faster to resume the lead position. Obviously none of this would have happened if the pace car had properly entered the track.
