NASCAR: 3 tries at 'green-white-checker' finish

Published Feb. 11, 2010 11:53 a.m. ET

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.
