NASCAR has introduced new rules that guarantee starting spots for “world-class drivers,” like Helio Castroneves, in races like the Daytona 500.
Under the new rules, the provisional starting spot will not allow drivers to earn race points, playoff points, or prize money.
Drivers missing races will forfeit current and future playoff points unless the absence is due to specified emergencies.
New penalties for manufacturers have been established to prevent manipulation in championship outcomes, potentially affecting points and testing resources.
Changes have been made to the damaged vehicle policy, allowing cars to repair without being disqualified from the race.
