Agreed. He stopped to try to help a driver who was in potentially very serious trouble. He shut the car down to get out and run over to help. When he got back to it, he couldn't figure out how to get it restarted. He then ran to the pits (I'm not sure why he didn't call on the radio) to ask for restarting instructions, having specifically asked the crew not to load it up on the flatbed. They loaded it before he was able to get back. In the condition it was in, it's very likely he could have driven it back, and there would have been time to repair it before the restart. So, yeah, "no good deed goes unpunished"...
