NASCAR is looking at ways to finish races under green, but nothing is expected to change until next season at the earliest, a series official said Monday. Three of the past six Nextel Cup races have ended under caution. "I think long-term, we've got to do everything we can to figure out how to finish races under green," said Jim Hunter, NASCAR vice president. Hunter said he doesn't anticipate a change this year. One option is to guarantee that the race's final two laps are run under green, as is done in the Craftsman Truck Series.

At least thier gonna try and do something. I just hope it works.
 
I wish I had time to put together number for races ending under Green/yellow for past years to see if the fans have a right to complain.
 
I dunno, do they really need another rule or do the need to use better discretion throwing the Red flag?
3 laps to go at Bristol and 3 laps to go at Pocono are two different animals.
 
No matter what... finish under green/white/checkered. That is the way the trucks do it and it works.
 
I do not understand why they didn't start green white checkers years ago.
 
I say green/white/checker at all the tracks except the plate tracks, doing that there would be mayem. I don't see why they haven't done it already, then it is so simple that is probably why they haven't :p

Atlanta Motor Speedway president Ed Clark said Thursday that NASCAR officials indicated to him this week that mandatory green-flag finishes for Nextel Cup races are in the works and could be in place before the end of the season. Clark said this week would be a good time to start: "There's no reason not to do it right now. It would be equal for everybody." Fans have expressed their displeasure at races ending under caution by throwing objects onto the track and at officials. "My expectation is that every race that ends under caution, you'll see the same thing," Clark said. "It's like booing a driver -- once everybody gets to doing it, there's no stopping it."(Atlanta Journal-Constitution)
