NASCAR Issues Rule Changes to Address Member Conduct

NASCAR released rule changes to the 2016 member conduct guidelines Friday night in an effort to clarify infractions and their corresponding penalties.

The rules cover a wide range of  misconduct with specific penalties for each infraction including driver confrontations, both verbal and physical, criticizing NASCAR leadership, damaging another vehicle under yellow or red flag conditions, attempts to manipulate the outcome of a race, “significant criminal violations” and more.

It also addresses statements made against someone based on their “race, color, creed, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, marital status, religion, age or handicapping condition.”

Please see the complete wording below from the NASCAR Sprint Cup Rule Book.
