Mike, I wasnt there to see what you saw, but it sure sounds like grounds for disqualification to me. If a car goes on a trailer, a flatbed, or a tow truck it is done. Unless it is to be removed from a dangerous roadside situation for repairs. If you can pull off to the side of the road and fix it there you have to do that. If there is no shoulder, no place to get off the road, then yes you can tow it to the next exit or safe area but you have to work on it there. You can't tow it to a garage for anything.
