The ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards has announced a change to its end-of-race overtime procedures at its two biggest speedways, Daytona Int’l Speedway and Talladega Superspeedway.

Previously, ARCA allowed unlimited attempts at a two-lap green-white-checkered finish if the white flag had not been displayed, and unlimited green and white together attempts if the white flag had been displayed and the caution flag was necessary prior to the checkered.

In 2019, ARCA will move to one attempt at a one-lap green and white together finish at Daytona and Talladega. Overtime procedures at the other 18 races on the schedule remain unchanged from the previous unlimited attempts procedures.

“We feel it’s more fair to the teams and to the fans to finish the race closer to the advertised distance,” ARCA Senior Director of Competition Grayling Call said. “Teams work on their fuel strategy throughout these races and when you have several overtime finish attempts it throws that strategy off for everyone. You could have cars running out of fuel on a restart that causes another crash.”

The 2019 ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards season starts with the Lucas Oil 200 driven by General Tire at Daytona International Speedway on Saturday, February 9. For more information, visit the ARCA Racing website.
