The NASCAR Camping World Truck Series introduced a series of new rules for the series. These rules included no pit specialists and no extra tires. This rule was necessary since some tracks' pit roads were not safe. Instead of pit stops, each race was given a 10-minute "halftime" break. Tire changes were allowed only for safety reasons.

How To
How to fast corner
When racing, you want your car to move ahead of others in order to be faster. This means that everyone must turn before you. If you do this correctly, everyone behind you will have to brake too. They won't be able to see what's ahead of them. You'll also avoid getting into accidents with cars coming from different directions. So how do you corner fast?
First, it is important to understand where your destination is. If you don’t know where your destination is, you might end up in a completely new place. You need to plan well. Make a map of your route so you can see where you're heading at any given moment. This may seem like a lot, but it will save you a lot more headaches later.
Next, decide when you want to turn. You can start by passing the first corner. Once you have completed the first corner, your starting point will be known. You now need to choose whether you will use the inside or 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. This will allow you to move fast and avoid hitting anyone. Once you've entered the inside lane, it is important to stay there. You must not drift back to the outside lane. If you do, you could easily hit someone still moving slowly. Keep in mind, however, that if your vehicle crosses the line dividing them, you will lose control and be vulnerable to crashes.
Once you've chosen which lane you will use, you can choose where you want to turn. This problem can be solved in many ways. Some people prefer looking for a gap or a void in traffic. Others will look for a clear opening on the road. Others look for the point where the road curves around hills or mountains. Whatever method you choose, remember that you need to be careful not to block the entire road. You'll cause traffic jams throughout the town if this happens.
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 sharp turn is much easier to perform than a gradual one. However, it requires more effort and takes longer to complete. On top of that, it makes it harder to steer your car properly. Many drivers prefer to take gradual turns because of this.
The final thing you should do is accelerate enough to get away from the car in front. You will crash into the car's bumper if you accelerate too quickly. If you accelerate too slowly, you will run off of the road. In either scenario, you could end up losing control of your car or crash. Accelerating slowly is the best way to avoid this. You can start with very little acceleration and then increase it when you reach the edge.
When you've finished cornering, you need to slow down immediately. This is especially true when driving in heavy traffic. If you don't, you risk hitting someone.
