During a yellow flag (or caution), NASCAR drivers may enter Pit Row only when NASCAR opens it. Also, drivers must keep their speed below a certain threshold when entering and exiting Pit Row. Speeding may result in a pass-through penalty.

Originally all cars are locked into place at yellow. Except some tracks allow a race back to the caution where lapped cars can make up a lap. NASCAR and some other motorsports series have implemented the beneficiary rule for the highest ranked car one lap.
