#24- Jeff Gordon said Friday that NASCAR should reduce the number of green-white-checkered finishes at restrictor-plate tracks. Gordon’s comments come three weeks before NASCAR races at Talladega Superspeedway. That will be the first race at a restrictor-plate track since #3-Austin Dillon’s car crashed into the catch fence at Daytona International Speedway. Five fans were injured. Dillon’s crash marked the third time since Feb. 2012 that fans were injured at Daytona by a vehicle crashing into the fence. All three incidents came on a green-white-checkered finish. “I certainly don’t think we need multiple green-white-checkereds at a restrictor-plate track,” Gordon said at Dover International Speedway. NASCAR permits a maximum three attempts to end a race under green-flag conditions before calling the event. NASCAR has stated it’s considering making a race procedure change before Talladega.(NBC Sports)(10-4-2015)
