NASCAR and Speedway Motorsports have made changes to the curbing in the frontstretch chicane at the Charlotte Roval ahead of the Cup Series race. The 4-inch ‘turtles’ have been swapped with 2.25-inch curbing to reduce the impact on the drivers and their cars. Several drivers, including Martin Truex Jr. and Kyle Busch, expressed concerns about the harshness of the curbing after practice. NASCAR also issued a reminder about track limits and penalties for cutting the chicane. The rule states that vehicles must stay on the full course at all times, with specific penalties for infractions. The post-race penalty for not serving a stop-and-go penalty in time was clarified as a 30-second addition to the total time. Judging of track limits will focus on all four tires being on the non-track side of the rumble strips at turn apexes.
