If a car is black flagged for causing the caution then it will be up to the flagman’s discretion whether other cars involved are sent to the rear.

Pole sitter is responsible for maintaining a caution speed until the green flag is displayed. All other cars must stay tightly packed in formation until the green flag is shown. Jumping the start will not be tolerated. The green flag will always be thrown after the flagman gives the one to green signal.
