I think the WG 2nd is probably the right answer. He passed a crapload of cars that day. I wish he could still move through road course fields like that, but those days may be gone.
If that banner really exists in his shop, that is pretty sad. Without any shenanigans, the best he does in that race is 2nd. His car was no match for Ambrose's that day. He was mired back in 6-7th until those 3 cars in front of him took each other out. He should have restarted 2nd, but would have stayed there.
