NASCAR makes restart zone change for Watkins Glen

NASCAR has made a change ahead of the trip to Watkins Glen International. The sanctioning body has moved the restart zone for all three national series races.

According to SVP of Competition Elton Sawyer, the restart zone will now move to the entrance of Turn 7, which sets up the race to the checkered flag. This is the turn where drivers previously made last ditch efforts to complete the race-winning pass.
