To be fair, you should see that PT was quite a bit quicker once he was past PC. Not (necessarily) a reflection of PC, but rather a question of who's fastest at any given time. It definitely speaks to the quality of the track, that there's no passing action (particularly as the series has shown some good on-track action earlier this year).
I feel for Pat, but his holding the position over PT wouldn't have helped him in the end. Only if he could pick up the pace, make a good gamble on pit strategy, or figure out how to improve the car in the pits would he have been able to hold PT behind him all race - and then he's lost the position anyway, and has hurt PT's championship to boot.
