New NASCAR rules regarding the race car wrap and windows
In late July, Denny Hamlin and Kyle Busch were disqualified after Pocono Raceway. Hamlin won the event while his Joe Gibbs Racing teammate finished 2nd.
Details were released shortly after noting that a piece of tape was the reason for both DQ’s. The tape was installed under the wrap of the body and used to adjust the body shape of the car.
Now, the official NASCAR rules have been adjusted to the games from the garage area. See the new NASCAR rule book lines below…
