The NASCAR Camping World Truck Series introduced a series of new rules for the series. These rules were without pit specialists and did not require additional tires. This rule change was necessary because some tracks, such as Dacono, CO, and Tucson, AZ, had pit roads that were unsafe. Instead of pit stops each race, the series used a ten-minute "halftime” break between races. It also allowed for tire changes to be made only for safety.

How To
How to corner fast
During a race, you want to get your car out of the way of others so you can go faster. This means that you need to turn before others. When you do this correctly, you'll make everyone behind you brake too, because they won't know what's going on ahead of them. You will also avoid being in an accident with cars coming from all directions. So, how can you turn quickly?
First, understand where you are going. If you don’t know the direction you are heading, you will probably end up somewhere totally unexpected. You need to plan well. A map of your route is a great way to see where you are heading at any time. This may seem like a lot, but it will save you a lot more headaches later.
Next, figure out when your turn will be. You can start by passing the first corner. Once you pass the first corner, then you will know exactly where to begin. Now you just need to decide whether you'll use the inside lane or the outside lane.
If you're planning to take the inside lane, you'll want to wait until there's no traffic in front of you. Then you'll be able to move quickly without worrying about hitting someone. However, once you get into the inside lane you must remain there. You must not drift back to the outside lane. If you do this, you might hit someone who is still moving slowly. Remember that crossing the line between the lanes can cause you to lose control of the vehicle, making it more vulnerable to accidents.
Once you have determined which lane to use, choose a point to turn. This problem can be approached in many different ways. Some people prefer searching for a gap within the traffic. Others look for a gap in traffic. Others look for the point where the road curves around hills or mountains. You need to ensure that you don't block the entire road, regardless of what you do. Traffic jams can be caused by blocking the entire road.
Once you have decided where you want to turn, it is time to decide if you'll make a sharp right or a gradual left. A sharper turn can be more challenging than a slow one. However, it takes longer and requires more energy. Additionally, it can be more difficult to drive your car properly. This is why most drivers prefer gradual turns.
Finally, you need to accelerate just enough to escape the car in front of you. Too fast and you will crash into the bumper of the vehicle in front. You can also run off the road if you accelerate too quickly. In either case, you'll lose control of your car and crash. This is why you should accelerate slowly. You can start with very little acceleration and then increase it when you reach the edge.
You must slow down as soon as you have completed cornering. This is especially important when you're driving through heavy traffic. Driving in heavy traffic can lead to someone being run over.
