overtime
Overtime is NASCAR’s way of making sure the race doesn’t end under a caution. If the race is close to finishing and something happens, they add extra laps with restarts so the finish is more exciting.
In NASCAR, “overtime” is an extra attempt to finish the race under green-flag conditions when the scheduled laps end under caution. It typically adds a short, rule-based restart sequence, which can dramatically change strategy and outcomes.
