Flag Meanings

EXPLANATION OF THE FLAGS

The flagman is the most visible person while the races are running. The basic job of the flagman is to operate the races as safely as possible and watch for rule infractions. The flags are how the flagman communicates to the racers during the race.

Green Flag - Starts the race.

Yellow Flag - Proceed with caution.

Red Flag - Stop the race immediately.

White Flag - Denotes one lap remaining.

Checkered Flag - Race is over.

Move Over Flag - Denotes leaders are about to pass. Maintain your line and allow them to go by.

Black Flag - Disqualified for a rules infraction.

Side by Side Flags - Denotes only two laps remaining.

Crossed Flags - Denotes the race is half done.

The flagman may also point a rolled up black flag at a car, that is a warning for a minor infraction or cautioning the driver for being too aggressive and non-sportsmanlike in their racing conduct.

A rolled up green flag in one hand and a rolled up green flag in the other waved up and down tells the racer to line up side by side for the start of the race.

A red and yellow flag and/or light on the tree denotes that the racers are to realign in their original order for a complete restart.

The flagman is in constant radio contact with the pit boss and the lap counters in the tower.

One item that does occur on a frequent basis and causes some confusion to newer spectators is this rule: If an incident occurs that requires a yellow or red flag, THE CAR THAT CAUSED THE CAUTION AND THOSE WHO MAKE CONTACT, HOWEVER SLIGHT IT MAY BE must move to the back of the line up.
