A series of new rules were introduced by the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series. These rules didn't include any pit specialists or additional tires. This rule change was necessary as some tracks had unsafe pit roads, such as Dacono in CO and Tucson in AZ. Instead of pit stops the series decided to have a ten minute "halftime" break between races and allow tire changes for safety purposes.
