The Great American Race went to two overtimes and finished under caution like the other two NASCAR races at Daytona International Speedway last weekend. This prompted opinions across social media on if yellow-flag finishes are the right thing for NASCAR.

Catchfence’s Chris Knight stated his desire for NASCAR to mandate a green-flag finish, just like the ARCA Menards Series. However, Earnhardt Jr. replied with his own opinion on Monday night.

“I (100%) respect your opinion. Mine is the opposite though. I don’t think there should be an overtime at all. If a caution ends it, so be it. No (green-white-checkered finish) was fine with me for most of my life. It hasn’t had a profound affect on my enjoyment of racing since being implemented.”

This is the same proposal that was covered by Sportsnaut on Tuesday afternoon. NASCAR does not need overtime for superspeedway tracks and the advertised distance of 500 miles, in this scenario, should be the furthest the race goes overall.
