Both drivers must start the race (e.g. cross the start line) for bets to be action. If any driver is replaced before the start of the race, then all match-ups will be void. For example, Driver Gordon qualifies in 1st place but due to injury is replaced by Driver Brack (all bets void).

If a driver is replaced during the race, then bets will stand on his replacement. For example,

Driver Gordon starts the race but due to injury is replaced after 10 laps by replacement Driver Brack who then finishes the race and places 4th. In the race standings and for betting purposes Driver Gordon would be credited with a 4th place finish.
