DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) -- The Nationwide series will emulate the top NASCAR circuit by using double-file restarts with the leaders at the front throughout races, beginning with the event at Daytona International Speedway on July 3.
Just as the Sprint Cup series has moved away from having lapped cars next to the lead cars on restarts, the Nationwide drivers will line up according to the standings for restarts.
Double-file restarts were introduced at the non-points NASCAR Sprint all-star race in May and the change was fully instituted for the Sprint Cup Series earlier this month at Pocono Raceway.
