NASCAR’s New Stage Break Rule | Chattanooga News

NASCAR’s Cup Series is revving up for a major change this weekend at Iowa Speedway — ditching long caution delays to deliver more non-stop, green-flag racing. If a caution hits with 10 laps or fewer left in Stage 1 or 2, that stage instantly ends, and the caution becomes the official break. No more waiting for yellows to end and restart — the action keeps flowing. Drivers and fans alike have been begging for less downtime and more competition, and NASCAR’s listening. When cars cross under the yellow, the leader gets a special green-and-white checkered flag, and stage points are awarded based on real-time data and video review. Simple tweak? Maybe. Big impact? Absolutely — keeping the intensity high and the excitement alive from start to finish. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
