For twin races, you must start race one of the twins on the 4 new tires you qualified on. If you run 25 or fewer laps in race one, then you must start race two on the same four tires, one lap down at the back of pack.
There will be a chance in a support division for competitors to get the minimum required laps on their tires for race two. These competitors must have met minimum race pace for 25 laps however. Tire rotating will be allowed. This is the fairest method and it will also resolve the issue of teams having an advantage on tires for race two. In race two, those who started one lap down will be eligible for the free pass rule but only after halfway will you be eligible, after lap If you run 26 or more laps in race one but do not finish, you will be able to start race two on the lead lap.
If you make a tire change with the approval of a track official, you will be required to start at the back of the lead lap cars for race two. The official will select which tire out of your pit can go back on the car. On the twin races, Late Models will be staged against the outside pit wall after twin race one. Teams will be allowed a work session right after the race up until the start of twin race two. Teams will be required to turn in 2 scuffs at the end of each race event to be used at the next date.
Chargers will be required to purchase 4 scuffs for their races. The tires will be selected randomly. Once your tire is in the scanner for , you will not have to check it in any more prior to races. These tires are however subject to inspection anytime by MBS officials. All new tires purchased MUST be run the night of purchase. This will solve the issue of people banking new tires to run with 4 new at a later date.
Fuel: o All competitors must purchase a minimum amount of race fuel at each event. Late Models will be 10 gal, Super Trucks and Chargers will be 5 gal, and Mini Stocks will only be required to purchase 2 gallons of race fuel. When checked, the fuel must be track fuel to be deemed legal.
At all events, the driver assumes responsibility for assigning and directing the activities of all crew members, and others assigned to the racing team. Transponder location will be in a transponder bag around the right rear axle tube. This speed is to be followed at all times practice, qualifying, races. You will be disqualified from the race event.
Any driver or car not ready to compete when called during qualifying will be docked their fastest lap if not ready with assigned group. Any driver or car not ready to compete within five 5 minutes of the time called for their race may be sent to the rear for the initial start. A car may only make one 1 attempt per session unless otherwise authorized by the track officials.
After the yellow flag is displayed, the first eligible car one 1 or more laps down to the leader, will be given one 1 lap back. The eligible car will be instructed to line up behind the caution vehicle.
When the one 1 to go signal has been given the eligible car will be instructed to pass the caution vehicle in order to gain one 1 lap back and will restart at the rear of the field. The average caution length in the last tenth of the race is higher than the average caution rate in the tenth before it only three times in 40 years: in , in and in In conclusion, this analysis shows no evidence that caution lengths are systematically increasing over the last 40 years, or over the course of an average race.
One can no doubt find individual races that do exhibit this behavior, but the overwhelming majority of races do not. The most telling statistic is the number of debris cautions. Rising from through and then dropping off significantly.
I guess stage racing allowed NASCAR to stop finding so much mysterious debris on the tracks in order to bring the field back together? I think we have to give credit to the Damaged Vehicle Policy for decreasing debris cautions. This site uses Akismet to reduce spam. Learn how your comment data is processed.

The Data I looked at caution lengths from That leaves us with 9, cautions in the following categories: Accidents 4, Spins 1, Debris 1, Oil or Water on Track Other Stage-end cautions Engines Competition cautions , which reliably average Key to shapes: The red-upside-down triangles are accidents, pink circles are spins, dark blue diamonds are stalled cars, purple-octagons- that-look-like-circles are debris cautions, and grey squares are due to oil or water on track.
Thanks for stopping by! Leave a Reply Cancel reply. Copyright Trivalent Productions Loading Comments That leaves us with races that went the scheduled distance or longer.
I plot below the number of races by decade, breaking out how many of those are weather-shortened or overtime. Over the same time range, races have gone into overtime. I looked through these races and tallied up the lap at which the last caution of the race started.
Obviously, in races that went into overtime, the last caution was within the last 10 laps of the race. But what about the rest of them? Out of races, Between laps , the number falls to races or If we go a little further out, So now the questions are: 1 Where are all these last-ten-lap cautions happening? The last 10 laps at Talladega are almost 26 miles, whereas the last 10 laps at Martinsville are a little more than 5 miles.
