So this is a little bit of a trick question since there were no real classification criteria like the 70% rule. I guess you just had to be running at the end. The winner did 128 laps and 70% of that would have been 90 laps. Of the 33 cars entered only 17 completed 90 laps. One car classified as a finisher actually did less than 50% of the winners laps by completing only 57 laps. Anyway, that was a good tricky question.
