Leaving before Tree question

I wasn't willing to take any chances. I've been doing this a long time, and feel kind of dumb for not having a clear understanding of the rule.

Mike,
First off congrats on the win at Sonoma. Awesome car, might rank pretty close to Justin Lopes car as one of my favorites out there.
That's my deal, not trying to get anyone in trouble or point fingers at anyone just wanted an answer as to what is right and wrong. I mean right now the guy that got DQ'ed at the race sits #2 in points for my series only 1 round out from first. We still have 4 races to go and a lot of racing left to do so anything could change but, would hate to see a championship get decided like that. As you can see from the posts here, it's pretty split, some say he's good, others say its a DQ. Just would be nice to have a clear cut answer so when 2020 comes around and the rules are set for the series we can implement that and were all on the same page.
