In open wheel racing, especially on dirt (where you don't have the traction to free yourself,) when 2 buggies tangle, they are often stuck together. When the drivers of those buggies then try to free themselves by pegging the throttle, they wind up catching other cars that are trying to pass.

In the qualifiers and in the main, 2 buggies tangled up soon became 3 and 4 buggies tangled up. The solution is to simply let the marshalls free the cars.

This is the huge difference between open wheel and closed wheel racing.
