well being that it's RG's car and team I don't think he had to try very hard to drive it lol. That being said, yes, he is in the car for the rest of the weekend. As TOG would say, they called an audible

I thought that the driver who qualified had to run the car, is that not correct?

You also have to start in the back, but they're already there.

Replacement drivers have to start at the end of the field a loss of two positions. KC being a good driver , driving on a learners permit ( i.e. a rooky) never exceeds the min. speed limit or ventures out in the fast lane where those unsafe crazy speeders are would not be able to pick-up position after being lapped every 20 laps or so. Cut him loose on the big track and miss the big one at Dega.
