After watching its most popular driver sit out for a large number of races last year, NASCAR announced today that it will implement new concussion protocols which will go into effect for each NASCAR national series beginning in 2017.
Here are some of the highlights:
- If a car sustains any type of damage from contact or a wreck during the race, that driver is required to take a trip to the Infield Care Center.
- If a car goes to the garage area at any point during the race, that driver must be checked out at the Infield Care Center.
