NASCAR has issued an update to its rulebook regarding the transfer of tires between teams during a race.

New tires may now be transferred between teams twice in a given race, but only if the second team that possessed the tires retires from the race due to an incident or mechanical issues.

Scuffed tires can only be transferred once.
