DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- As expected, NASCAR announced a new policy on its overtime procedure of green-white-checkered flag re-starts and will make a maximum of three tries to have races end under green.
Sprint Cup Series Race Director David Hoots informed teams of the change during the drivers' meeting three hours before the start of Thursday's Gatorade Duel 150 qualifying races for Sunday's
Daytona 500. Under the new procedure -- which includes all three national touring series -- NASCAR will make up to three attempts at a green-white-checkered finish. If there is an accident on the first of the two laps, NASCAR will make another green-white-checkered flag re-start.
If there is an accident after the race leader has taken the white flag signaling the last lap, the race will be called.
