NASCAR makes confusing ruling during chaotic Truck Series rain delay at Pocono Raceway

NASCAR threw the red flag in the Truck Series race with eight laps to go, ran a couple of caution laps trying to race again, then back under red. At first, they decided to not count the laps, but when the race was restarted a second time, they took them away.

So, there are only six laps left in this race at Pocono Raceway. The NASCAR Truck Series race has been dominated by Corey Heim today. He swept the stages and has been the best driver on the day.

Grant Enfinger is going to try to take Heim down on this next restart. But why would NASCAR not count the laps, then go back and take them away? Are they worried about not making all of the laps before 8:20 PM?

It’s a bit confusing as Jeff Gluck of The Athletic pointed out.

UPDATE: NASCAR just changed ruling. Those caution laps DID count and now they say there are only six laps to go. https://t.co/AE3vHwRiEF

A full breakdown from Gluck.

To clarify, there were eight laps to go on the first red flag. They left pit road and went back under caution. NASCAR then said those laps did not count and put the lap count back to eight during the second red flag. Then they said those laps DID count and there are six to go.
