Procedural change coming to Talladega race in Chase?

Steve O’Donnell

A NASCAR executive further hinted Monday at change for the Oct. 25 Sprint Cup race at Talladega Superspeedway.

Steve O’Donnell, NASCAR executive vice president and chief racing development officer, said Friday that "there probably will be" rule changes at Talladega when asked about what officials might do in light of what they learned from the Austin Dillon crash at Daytona in July.

Monday on “The Morning Drive," O’Donnell clarified what officials were considering for the Talladega race.

“I think that’s more procedural in terms of the race procedures for that event," O’Donnell said on SiriusXM NASCAR Radio. “Don’t want to confuse everyone in terms that we may be changing engines or things like that. We’re just looking at some race procedure things that we may or may not do and still having some conversations within the garage to land on that decision." Dustin Long/NBC Sports
