While it is counter-productive to assign blame, I'd say the primary responsibility falls on the track host to communicate passing rules clearly. Then, it falls on the passing car to ensure a safe pass of the passed (?) car.

I think any competent track host will clearly outline the passing rules in the morning driver's meeting. If they don't, do everyone a favor and bring it up before the track goes hot, otherwise your guess is as good as the other person's.
