NASCAR (National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing)

In the NASCAR racing are used six flags mainly:

Yellow – It is displayed during a problem. The pace car comes on the racetrack. The race becomes slowed down through, because cars must go slowly behind the pace car. It is used mostly during crashes. If then the pace car moves off on the Pit Road, the race can continue.

Green – It comes after the pace car has left the racetrack. It is signal: "You can speed up! Go! The race continues!" It is used at the race start and after the Yellow.

Red – Such a probem that the racetrack becomes closed and the cars line up on the pit road. It is used when some water or oil appears on the racetrack. It comes after the Yellow.

White – The last lap

Checkered – The finish, end of the race

Black – It is used instead of disqualification. The driver must come to the pit and wait until he will be released. It is showed for early speeding up before the Green or passing during Yellow. But not for smashing anyone deliberately (but it is not purpose of racing). If the driver ignores this flag, then comes Black With White Crossing. It disqualifies the driver.

The pace car (safety car) is used in this racing very frequently.
