NASCAR is amending its “Lucky Dog” rule, which allows the first car one lap down to get the lap back when there is a caution. Starting Sunday at Atlanta, a driver who gets a lap back because of the rule can’t make a second pit stop during that caution to top off with fuel. Ryan Newman used that strategy in his September win at Dover.( FoxSports/Sporting News ), see the rule, past news and info on the rule on my Caution Rule page .(10-20-2003)
