The difference is, since that's what you asked, is that one car got robbed
the chance to make it to the next round because of what Burton did.  Don't
get me wrong though, I thought it was an excellent example of using brains
over braun.  Yep, there will be a "no pit on the last lap" rule next year,
but most rules are the results of fixing things that have already happened.

No one got robbed.   Jeff Burton was running in the Top 10 the whole time up
until they went with that strategy.  Even if he would have pitted like
everyone else, he still would have been in the top 20.  The same cars would
have gone home

So pit entry and exit are not considered part of the stop in Nascar?
Actually something similar happened in F1 when someone (hmm I think it was
MS but not sure) served a stop n go penalty on the last lap of the race,
having crossed the finish line before stopping because the team garage was
at the bottom of pit road...

I think the FIA patched that leak, so I'd guess NASCAR will do the same to
clarify what's involved in a pitstop?

cheers
