I think they all have a rule like that. It's so that you can declare a winner 6 minutes after the clock expires and you couldn't end up with the hypothetical situation where a leading car stops on the last lap and its team refuse to withdraw it, which could theoretically end in a very messy situation afterwards if you have to wait an extra half an hour for the second place car to overtake it. That and the old "sit just before the finish line and refire the car" trick.
