Reply to comment by Klendy in Ross Chastain's epic wall-riding maneuver on the last lap at Martinsville gets him a spot in the title race by AlphaInvictus
There's no way that he would have been able to keep pace after that.

The race is over at the sf. He kept pace until then

Right, but that is the only time this would have and did work. What I'm saying is that if they had thrown the caution, they would have reverted to the last scoring loop and frozen the field as is, race over. Then they would have assessed who was the cause of the caution and even though he kept pace until the finish line, they could have determined that he would not have been able to keep pace otherwise and may not have given him the spot he finished in. This is obviously speculation, but what isn't is that we will never see this happen again. There will be a rule change.
