This weekend at Phoenix Raceway, ‘Traffic’ will be the key focus for NASCAR Cup Series drivers. The new rules package aims to improve performance in traffic rather than individual driving.

Drivers hope the adjustments will lead to better handling and closer competition during the Shriner’s Children 500 race. Teams utilized an extended practice session on Friday to adapt to the new package and evaluate car balance in traffic situations.
