8.1 A safety car may only be called if three (3) or more cars are damaged in an incident.  For the oval rounds, this will be reduced to two (2) or more cars (with or without damage).
8.2 It is common at oval races for massive accidents to occur. It has also been known for these wrecks to carry on taking place after the caution call.  If you are wrecked after the caution call you are STILL not able to regain your previous position because you were involved in the wreck.  This does not extend to lag issues during the caution, if lag causes a collision which causes you to lose position DURING a caution period after the pack has regrouped, you may regain your position at the lobby host's discretion.
8.3 Only drivers that are involved in the accident, the lobby host, or a staff member are permitted to call for a caution.
8.4 Cautions cannot be called once the final lap of the race has been started by the race leader.
8.5 In the event of a caution being called too close to the end of the race for the race to get back to green, a 'Green-White-Checkered' finish will occur; as per the real NASCAR series.
8.5.1 In the event of a G-W-C, the drivers will complete the race distance under caution. After that, the lobby host will set up a 3 lap race. The race will be restarted in the order from when the caution was called. There will be one warm-up lap and two racing laps.
8.5.2 In the event that another caution is called before the final lap of a G-W-C attempt is started, another G-W-C will be attempted. There can be a maximum of three G-W-C attempts before the race will end officially.
