I explained that I was more than staged, and that the bulbs did not light. He reset the tree.....and there she was....I was deepstaged....never lighting the stage bulbs. After arriving back at my trailer, Mr.Hymas, a top sportsman racer who was pitted next to us, asked what happened. He preceded to tell us that three top sportsman cars in the right lane redlighted really bad. I'm convinced that there was some kind of electronic glitch, as my father always counts when I stage last. I was redlighted after four seconds.

Sorry for my ignorance but would the evidence of a deep stage not be proof enough for a rerun?
