What
NASCAR says :
What Race Views says:
| Start of the event or a restart after a caution period. | |
Start or restart or the beginning of another multi-car crash caused by a one-lap shootout. |
| Move over. Indicates a faster car is overtaking the car being signaled and the car being signaled should consider allowing the pass. | |
Since the flag is voluntary it has no meaning whatsoever. NASCAR uses it because they get paid to use blue/yellow flags. |
| Caution, slow and hold position. Indicates an unsafe condition on the race track. Drivers are required to slow down and maintain their position. Cars may not pass under the yellow flag. | |
Indicates you are probably running on one of the tracks owned by Bruton Smith. Unsafe at any speed. It also means race like hell back to theStart/Finish line to make up your lost laps. |
| Oil on track. Indicates unsafe surface condition. | |
Oil on track. Indicates one of those NASCAR/Fords upchucked it’s lunch on the track, again. |
| Indicates the car being signaled must go immediately to the pit area for consultation. The scoring of any car that ignores the black flag will be discontinued. | |
Means very little. The car has 3 laps to respond to the flag and if they don’t come in after 3 laps, their scoring is ended. |
| Stop. Indicates the complete stoppage of the race due to some unsafe condition. | |
Refer to the yellow flag rule. |
| Entering last lap. Indicates to the drivers they have started their last lap. | |
Entering the last lap. Why isn't this flag used earlier for some teams who will never finish the race? |
| Indicates the completion of the race. | |
O.K with me. |
