NASCAR Caution Line Bug?

I think I found a bug in the NASCAR's caution line logic. I was leading at Martinsville when the yellog flag came out. I raced back to the line, attempting to put another car a lap down, but just missed beating it to the line. After crossing the line, I passed it when it jammed on the brakes and I got the message, "Stay behind car #xx". I dropped back behind it, but it lined up behind the pace car instead of passing the pace car to fall in at the end of the caution line. This also occurred to me at N. Wilkesboro only in reverse. I was the last car on the lead lap and was passed by the leader just after passing the line. I got stuck behind the pace car just in front of the leader. It seems like there's a hole in the logic where if a pass occurs after crossing the line but before lining up behind the pace car, the program gets confused about who should fall in behind the pace car.
