NASCAR clarifies pit-road rules after Bell penalized for stopping in teammate's stall

The article from MSN discusses NASCAR's clarification on pit road rules following an incident involving Christopher Bell at the NASCAR Cup Series race at Homestead-Miami Speedway. During the race, Bell was penalized for stopping in his teammate's pit stall, which led to confusion about the rules. NASCAR's senior vice president of competition, Elton Sawyer, explained that the rulebook states a driver must stop in their designated pit box, and stopping in another team's box, even if it's a teammate's, is against the rules. This clarification came after Bell's team, Joe Gibbs Racing, argued that there was no competitive advantage gained from the stop, but NASCAR maintained that the rule is in place to ensure fairness and order during pit stops. The incident has sparked discussions on whether the rules need to be revisited or if teams need better education on existing regulations.
