That's a valid scenario, when it happens. However, in the original
poster's story, the crash happened with 3 laps to go. At this point he
has little if no chance to improve his position. If you're faster than
the 2nd place car, fine and dandy. But when you start to become a
factor in who wins the race as a lapper, it's time to move over and
let them battle it out.

Again, while he may not have broken any league rules, it's common
courtesy to move aside at this point.

Of course, this is league play. If it were a pickup race, this is the
point where the lapper parks sideways on the track....lmao.
