- Starting with this race, racing back to the caution was eliminated. At the moment the caution flag comes out, the field is frozen; running order is determined by video replays and scoring loops around the track. It also introduced the Lucky dog rule, in which the highest-running driver not on the lead lap gets a lap back when the caution period begins.

Famous quotes containing the word america:
“Let a man attain the highest and broadest culture that any American has possessed, then let him die by sea-storm, railroad collision, or other accident, and all America will acquiesce that the best thing has happened to him; that, after the education has gone far, such is the expensiveness of America, that the best use to put a fine person to is to drown him to save his board.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
