Good video, except I don't know of any series that uses or even has a non-scoring flag. And score "sheets" have been gone for years. Well, I think NASCRAP still uses the non-scoring flag, but that's just typical NASCRAP.

@44MHughes same difference. means they'll stop scoring that car.

you forgot the oil flag,..and the checkered flag also means that the race or practice/qualifying session is over.. not just the winner... but its nice that someone took the time to explain... i had to learn them by myself...

Cheers

True, simply put it means "over."

@slot962 It does in oval racing.

@44MHughes Actually, NASCAR races are still scored by hand as a redundancy.

The blue flag doesn't mean move over...

@kerethan Actually, the MECHANICAL black flag (aka the "meatball" flag) is for when something is wrong with the car. The solid black flag is for when you've violated race procedures and suffer a penalty/consequences
