Good: Caution Clock

It’s no secret that a lot of NASCAR fans opposed and even criticized this rule when it was first announced in February, but the rule has probably done a lot more to help the Camping World Truck Series then what many fans are willing to admit.

Not only that, the caution clock rule is also a great way to stop a driver from pulling away from the field and even brings the series one step closer to NASCAR’s glory day of multiple round dirt track racing. In fact, the rule has done such a great job of shaking things up and producing exciting finishes intThe Camping World Truck Series, that the Sprint Cup and Xfinity Series should seriously consider implementing it.
