The race sheets only show how many complete laps were turned.
The computer doesn't have any 100% accurate way, to know who is ahead on the track.
IE- if that was an 8 person race, and A.J. was on top, what that would of meant, is that A.J. completed his 276th lap, a longer time period from the moment the power shut off at the end the race, and thus, in most cases, should be further down the track and closer to the lap counting area.
But if he fell off after the time, he hit lap 276, and the power shut off, to end the race, Boogie obviously could of passed him.
Or even if A.J. didn't fall off, but Boogie was faster/on a better lane, Boogie could of finished ahead.
But in this case, it was a round-robin, and A.J. wasn't even on the track.
So it shows A.J. #2, instead of #3, because he hit 276 sooner.
Boogie obviously finished ahead of the spot A.J. finished, and left his sticker.
