* Gas Can Changes: NASCAR on Friday issued a technical bulletin requiring only metal red-painted fuel cans be used to refuel cars in the garage area. The rule change was prompted by a damaged plastic fuel container found by NASCAR officials last weekend at Martinsville. The container had a hole in it, apparently caused by the heat from the exhaust of a generator, said John Darby, Winston Cup series director. In addition, when fuel is added or removed from a car, the car must be outside of the garage stall. The fuel cans can no longer be stored in the garage stall and must be transported from the station to the pit area only in a NASCAR-approved cart.(ThatsRacin.com)(10-25-2002)
