NASCAR Gives Corey Day His Laps Back

NASCAR pulled off a rare move letting Corey Day reclaim his laps after his car was wrecked by a loose sewer cover on a street race—yes, a sewer cover—highlighting how the sport bends rules for extraordinary circumstances. Officials debated, but NASCAR VP Mike Forde stressed it was pure luck, not driver fault, and the track’s temporary nature made the call uniquely justified. They’re not planning to repeat this, but they’re also taking real steps to prevent future mishaps, like welding down covers and bringing in extra equipment. Beyond this oddball incident, the episode also covered safety upgrades for Cup cars, a fan rescue, and potential caution strategies for future street races.
