NASCAR Vows Protocol Review After Ware Crash

Cody Ware's 93 mph crash during the Chicago Street Race led to a 35-second delay in NASCAR issuing a caution flag, prompting widespread criticism from fans, drivers, and insiders. NASCAR officials revealed that a lack of immediate footage of Ware's crash contributed to the slow response. In response to the backlash, NASCAR has pledged to review and improve its race control procedures for future events. Ware, who was unharmed, voiced frustration at the delayed caution and called for better safety measures. The incident has intensified scrutiny of NASCAR's safety protocols and monitoring systems, especially for street circuits. NASCAR is expected to update its protocols before returning to Chicago or similar venues.
