Nascar2 AI Fails (again?)

Hi

Last night I was just relaxing and took about 50 lap
race at Talladega in Nascar2. It was quite close up
racing and I had to make a pit stop to get fresh set
of tires already after 25 laps or so. No yellow flags
happened in the race and I was in last position after
the stop. Slowly I moved over step by step until I was
about 18th. Then someone tapped me slightly and off we
went... No damage for me but yellow flags came out and
only 3 laps to go.
I thought that this is it - no way to top 10
finish, nobody else had stopped for fuel or tires at
that point. Then suddenly on the white flag lap (last lap),
when coming towards the last corner - ALL OTHER CARS went to PITS
instead of finishing the race behind the pace car - and I won...
Strange that the AI didn't tell the computer to drive to
checker flag insted of stopping for fuel and tires - there
must have been enough to finish - right?

any commments?
