After 11 Cup races this season, cautions are down 27% compared to the same time two years ago — the first season of the Next Gen car. Cautions were up that season as drivers struggled to handle the new car.
Cautions are down 8.75% compared to this time last year.
The cautions are down this year even with 16 at Texas last month — the most cautions in a 400-mile race on a 1.5-mile speedway.
