And some find from someone who was "scanning the race control channel at track".
Quote:
Race communicator called white flag next time after they had taken what was the 2 to go. But then shortly after stated that “due to the time remaining this would be the final lap”. Seemingly that message was meant to say next lap would be the final but came across as this lap. The starter in the flag stand then copied checkered flag next time by. About half a lap went by and the communicator finally realized and tried to correct and say white flag this time again but the starter. Did not copy that message the threw the checkered flag the 1 lap early.

Looks like there was miscommunication between race control and the man waving the flag that they couldn't correct in time. This quote if from the comments section of S366.
