DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — NASCAR officials are making a change to its green-white-checker rule, providing up to three attempts at a green-flag finish after late-race crashes that would otherwise cause races to finish under caution.
The change was announced Thursday at a drivers’ meeting before the afternoon qualifying races at Daytona International Speedway.
Under the previous rule, officials would add two green-flag laps to the end of a race to avoid a finish under yellow after a late-race accident – but only try it once.
