Cautions
Cautions in this league are defined as 2 or more cars making contact resulting in a crash/accident. If both cars are still facing the correct direction and moving forward, this does not necessitate calling a caution. This would be considered incidental contact or a racing incident. But if it seems warranted based on the amount of contact that took place, call a caution. Calling a caution is the responsibility of the drivers involved. All cautions will be reviewed by the stewards. Calling an unwarranted or incorrect caution could result in a post race disqualification. To call a caution, simply announce "Caution" over the mic or type the letter "C" into the chat box. When a caution is called, the lead lap cars will gently slow down to the posted caution speed. As soon as the field regroups single file and the lapped cars are accounted for, the pits will open. Any cars behind the incident may pass through. Cars rejoining the track must do so cautiously and blend back in with the field appropriately. Drivers that were "punted" on a road course will receive their position back under caution. - Please signify whether you are pitting or not by moving to the white line on the inside of the racing surface. No fake outs. If you enter pit lane on the backstrech under caution, you are committed to making a pit stop- Pitting is not required.- All cars pit on the same lap, including lapped cars.- Entering and exiting pitlane on ovals is done on the backstrech (except @ Daytona) Upon exiting the pits, drivers will line up single file and prepare for the restart. The leader will initiate the restart In the designated restart zone. Do Not jump the start. Please respect the position in front of you. You can’t pass before you get to the start finish line. There will be no more cautions with 3 laps to go.
- Caution speed: 55 Mph @ Road course, Motegi Super Speedway, Toyota Raceway, and Chevrolet Speedway.
- Caution speed: 65 Mph @ Indy Super Speedway/Daytona Super Speedway.
Caution Pit Stop Limits
Under the caution flag, you are only allowed 4 pit stops.
Under the greenflag, you can make as many stops as you want.
Also, you may enter pitlane on the front stretch under green flag conditions.
Still exiting on the back stretch.
The penalty for to many Caution Stops is At an oval it is 10 seconds for every extra stop, At a Road course it is 15 seconds for every extra stop added to your final time.
Lucky Dog
The first car one lap down will receive the Lucky Dog pass. If a caution is called, the first car one lap down may pass the lead lap cars, get their lap back and catch up with the rear of the field. The Lucky Dog may pit with the lead lap cars but must restart at the back no matter where you come out of the pits.
