Default NASCAR compared to Formula One

Competition:

For todays races, the top 20 in NASCAR had a qualifing separation of 0.401 seconds. For the 20 cars in Formula One, the separation from 1st to 20th was 5.661 seconds.

Granted, comparing a road course to an oval might not be the best, but the two types of tracks are representative of each racing organizations primary type of track and racing.

Mandatory Yellow

Due to the concern on tire safety at today's race at Chicagoland, NASCAR announced in advance a mandatory yellow at lap 25. Gave each team an alternative of either staying out or changing their tires. For those going into the pits they risked losing track position, but they had a choice.
