hey're not out of order - the reason it appears that way is because they make a pit stop during they're qualifying effort. They run one lap and on their second lap, they go in and pit and then go out for a third lap. Dale Jr. and Jeremy Mayfield were penalized for speeding entering pit lane.
The crews are required to make a 4-tire pit stop, no fuel is added to the car.
The crews tonight have to make a 4-tire pit stop during the first segment and it must be before the last lap. It has to be a green-flag pit stop.
There was an incident in 2001 where Jeff Burton waited until the last lap to make his pit stop and only had to drive some 4-5 yards to the finish line and finished 2nd. As brilliant as that move was, NASCAR didn't like it and wrote a rule against it.
I love the All-Star because it's $1,000,000 deal or no deal. No points. Take home the trophy or the sterring wheel. Looking forward to it, I'll be up all night watching it
If you place the numbers in the opposite columns then the math works fine for a 1.5 mile track.
